Introduction

In today’s fast-paced business environment, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a key driver of success. At Dickenson World, we recognize this pivotal role and have developed Synaptic Strategist, our AI Strategy Consultant service. This offering provides tailored support to help businesses understand, implement, and optimize AI solutions, ensuring that they are at the forefront of industry disruption, rather than being left behind.

AI has a transformative impact on corporate productivity, speed, and capacity. According to a McKinsey report, AI adoption can increase business productivity by up to 40%, leading to significant competitive advantages. Another study by Deloitte found that companies implementing AI solutions experience an average 25% improvement in operational efficiency. Furthermore, Gartner predicts that by 2025, AI will be the driving force behind nearly 95% of customer interactions, underscoring its critical importance to customer experience and satisfaction.

With Synaptic Strategist, Dickenson World provides businesses with the expertise they need to harness the power of AI, ensuring they stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Why work with us?

Choosing to work with an external team of experts on a retainer basis, as offered by Dickenson World, presents several key advantages for businesses looking to leverage AI for competitive advantage. Our consultants function as insiders, allowing businesses to benefit from both internal integration and external expertise, all while maintaining flexibility and reducing costs.

Deep Understanding, Fresh Perspectives

One of the primary benefits of embedding external experts within an organization is the ability to develop a deep understanding of the business while maintaining an objective viewpoint. This inside-outside perspective enables consultants to align strategies closely with the company’s goals while introducing innovative ideas and approaches that might be overlooked internally. This blend of familiarity and fresh thinking is crucial in navigating the complexities of AI implementation, where innovative problem solving is essential.

Flexibility and Adaptability

The retainer model offers significant flexibility. Unlike maintaining an in-house team, businesses can adjust the level of support based on evolving needs and project demands. This adaptability ensures that companies have access to the right expertise at the right time, without the burden of long-term employment commitments or high overhead costs. This flexibility is especially beneficial for businesses operating in dynamic environments where project scopes and priorities can change quickly.

Cost-Effective Expertise

Maintaining a full-time team of AI experts can be expensive, especially for smaller businesses. By working with external consultants on a retainer basis, companies can access specialized knowledge and skills without incurring the high costs associated with hiring and retaining full-time employees. This model allows businesses to tap into top tier expertise as needed, optimizing resources and aligning costs with specific project requirements.

Tailored Solutions and Long-Term Relationships

Retained consultants can offer tailored solutions that fit the unique needs of the business, thanks to their close integration and ongoing involvement. Over time, these consultants become deeply familiar with the organization’s operations, culture, and strategic objectives, leading to more effective and relevant solutions. Additionally, the long-term relationship fosters trust and collaboration, enhancing communication and leading to better project outcomes.

The Best of Both Worlds

By working with an external team of experts who function as insiders, businesses enjoy the best of both worlds: deep internal integration and cost-effective external expertise. This hybrid approach enhances strategic alignment, fosters innovation, and provides businesses with the agility needed to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. It’s a smart choice for organizations looking to leverage AI while maintaining the flexibility to adapt and grow.
