[Ailist] AI - an established business strategy

[Bill Scott]

Hi Mukul,

You sure know how to get the List active!  :-)

Responding to your initial post and incorporating some of Bruce's thought's on
understanding where AI is gaining traction, I'd like to throw out some
unsubstantiated hunches.

It's my guess that the philosophy of AI is well rooted in organizations that seek to
watch the triple bottom line. They may not know about AI per se, but they practice
its principles. I believe organizations that are corporately responsible, as opposed
to corporately responsive, are ones where the 5 (or 8) AI principles can be seen in
living, breathing colour.

So maybe a PhD dissertation or two ought to inquire into those organizations that see
the triple bottom line and corporate responsibility as their legacy and find out
whether a link exists.

Regards,
Bill

Hi everyone:

 

Looking at the past e-mail postings in the AIlistserve and my experiences
for pursuing AI in my organization, I am just wondering why AI has not been
established as an acceptable business strategy or tool so far.  Though it
has been developed in early 80's, it is based on positive environment and
consensus of all the participants (which is a perfect approach (win-win
approach in my opinion) in the current dynamic environment, even then the
people doubt its effectiveness and capability.  That's why it is not
popular.  Most of the people are not aware of AI and do not wish to invest
the resources for its trial.  Then we look around for the various ways if we
could get their acceptance.
