@giomate agreed, this is exactly how it should be done in my opinion as well, but unfortunately it seems like right now mostly employees dig into the topic of AI and automations first and then get to their managers, that block the idea as they don't have the time to look into the topic fully.
@[deleted-7900314](deleted-7900314) thank you for sharing! COO seems to be a great person to steer this topic, as he oversees the full daily operations.
A combo of top-down strategy and bottom-up execution is ideal IMO. The CEO should make AI/automation a priority and create a culture that's open to it. But the specific use cases and implementation should come from the teams closest to the work - they know what can benefit most from AI. Maybe start with a hackathon to surface ideas, then fund the most promising ones as official AI initiatives. 🤖
SUMMARIZATION:
Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts!
The consensus seems clear: decisions about implementing AI automation typically rest with the C-level executives, particularly the CTO, CEO, and COO. These roles are seen as key for aligning automation strategies with the company’s broader goals and ensuring seamless integration.
It’s been great hearing your insights – feel free to keep the conversation going if you have more perspectives to add!
