How will AI enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of corporate processes and services, elevating both their quality and speed?

In the dynamic landscape of service management and process ownership, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is a game-changer. AI is transforming how services are managed and processes are optimized, bringing significant improvements in efficiency, quality, and time management. This article delves into the various ways AI is revolutionizing these domains, backed by research and industry insights.

Efficiency Achieved with AI

AI’s role in automating repetitive tasks is a cornerstone of its efficiency. This automation not only accelerates processes but also minimizes human error, leading to heightened productivity across industries. Additionally, AI’s capability to rapidly analyze data provides invaluable insights for decision-making, streamlining operations and enhancing overall efficiency.

Enhancing Quality and Speed Through AI Innovations

When implemented at scale, generative AI has the potential to increase productivity in customer service operations by 30% to 50% or more as stated in the study of BCG.

AI not only speeds up processes but also enriches the quality of outcomes. It automates manual tasks, enabling employees to focus on strategic and creative endeavors. This shift not only improves the delivery speed but also elevates the quality of work, a crucial factor in service management and process optimization.

Time Savings for Developers and Video Editors

Develop software with up to twice speed. A McKinsey study shows that especially software developers can leverage Generative AI tools in their daily work.

The integration of AI in tools like GitHub Copilot exemplifies time-saving benefits. Although specific percentages may vary, the consensus is clear: AI and automation significantly reduce the time spent on manual tasks. Similarly, in fields like video editing, AI-driven platforms like Runway are revolutionising the editing process, though exact time savings may vary.

ServiceNow, the leading platform for service management and work automation, introduced NOW ASSIST for CREATORS based on the company-backed LLM that supports developers in daily tasks, like creating business logic. In the future, also generation of entire applications incl. data tables, workspaces, and flows will be possible. The Now Assist is running inside the ServiceNow ecosystems so client data does not leave the corporate segment.

Minimization of Human Errors

One of the most significant advantages of AI lies in its capacity to minimize human errors. This is particularly evident in precision-demanding tasks, such as robotic surgery systems, where AI’s precision and accuracy are vital. Moreover, in the corporate domain, where there is a risk to human health, inefficiencies, and errors impact financial damages and company reputation.

The reduction of human errors through the implementation of AI, particularly in the context of service and operations management, have a profound impact. There are typical types of activities that can reduce this part of potential issues: Human Error Data Entry and Processing, Complex Calculations and Analysis, Report Generation and Documentation, Scheduling and Planning.

AI shows its true value in handling high-volume, repetitive tasks. In such scenarios, the scale of operations makes the investment in AI not just sensible, but highly cost-effective. On the other hand, less repetitive tasks but with a large data sets also make sense to automate. AI is able to process and analyse vast amounts of information is invaluable. For decision-making and further analysis humans can take over again.

However, AI can also play a pivotal role in critical decision-making processes, especially- in such areas as strategic planning, compliance, and risk management.

Enhancing Customer Support with AI

While exact figures, such as a 45% increase in answered customer support requests might not be explicitly supported by research, the overall impact of AI on customer support is undeniable. AI’s ability to handle inquiries efficiently marks a significant improvement in both productivity and customer satisfaction.

AI Chat vs. Physician Responses

While the comparison of AI chat quality with physician responses may lack specific backing in research, the broader narrative remains consistent: AI has the potential to enhance the quality of interactions and support across various industries, including healthcare.
