AI that adds value to your organisation

AI is everywhere, but where does it actually pay off for you? The Next Organization helps you choose applications, test them on a small scale and scale up responsibly. We work AI-first ourselves and share what we learn.

Sound familiar?

Employees use AI tools without any ground rules in place
You do not know where AI adds value for your organisation
Pilots never get beyond the pilot stage
Sharing company data with AI makes you uneasy
Your data is scattered and not always reliable

From idea to working application

Seven in ten Dutch SME owners use AI, yet almost half are still unsure how to use it effectively. AI only pays off when it fits your strategy and becomes part of the daily work. Experimenting is not the same as transforming. Getting there takes six steps.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you start with AI in your organisation?

Start with what you want to achieve, not with the technology. Gather ideas from the people who do the work and pick a few with clear value. Try those out with a small group first.

Which AI applications deliver the most?

That depends on the organisation. The quickest wins are often in supporting work, such as searching, summarising and reporting. The greatest value usually lies in applications that change your proposition or the way you serve customers.

How do you stop pilots from staying pilots?

Decide in advance what a pilot needs to prove and how you will measure it. Give ownership to the business side, not just IT. Plan from the start how you will scale up, including data and support.

What does the EU AI Act mean for us?

The AI Act sets rules for AI based on risk. For most applications, it is mainly about transparency and the AI literacy of your employees. Stricter requirements apply to high-risk applications, such as those used in decisions about staff.

How do you make sure employees use AI responsibly?

Agree which tools and which data may be used. Train employees in what AI can and cannot do. Appoint an owner for each application who monitors its use and results.
