Re: AI Strategists, Data Scientists & OASIS BCM

oops-
Thanks Carl Owen and Chris
for capturing and sharing.
I repeat here my comment shared with participants after the session - also
pasted below

if the plan we worked on yesterday is to describe the role of an AI
Strategist
then we need to make explicit what the goal of the role and associated
activities  is/are

AI systems /software development can be very sophisticated and well
understood practice
in systems/software engineering . It is not a strategy role to do
requirements analysis and write
technical systems specifications, especially not technically advanced ones
 So we should review and devise an AI strategist/strategy goals
accordingly, taking into account the technical system specifications.
or viceversa?
A strategist could identify the need for a technical system based on a
business problem/need, but then pass the development
to a specialist (a systems developer/engineer) who has the skills to do so
So upon further reflection, I dont think requirements belong to an ai
strategy. unless better specified

Thanks for starting this plan
As I read what had been drafted I commented with my software/system
developer hat on
The system lifecycle is considered a process, rather than a strategy, and
consists of
identifying requirements, specifications and documentation and all
Its well understood and documented and there are several models, but the
lifecycle itself
is fairly standard, it applies to AI systems as to any system
So before I have a go at reorganising and perhaps streamlining a bit those
goals
I think we should define better what is the role of the AI strategist
does it overlap the role of a ai system analyst and designer (which is what
I have in mind)
ie  identify what needs to be done
or is it more a role to decide HOW these goals need to be achieved in
terms of resources, schedules, policies, coordination with management etc
Also, as I mentioned, this may depend on what other roles the AI strategist
works with/depends on-
