NewBI5 – New competitiveness and Business Impact from Intelligence, Intuition, Integration and Interaction

What if 25-30% of managerial work were automatized in the future? How could we recognize the managerial activities replaceable by artificial intelligence (AI), and understand, evaluate and manage the related business potentials for savings, value, and impact? Our vision is that Finnish companies will be in the forefront of realizing the related business potentials from solutions that automatize parts of managerial work.

The NewBI5 project examines how, why and where managerial work and managerial processes would change with the help of automation, AI and advanced analytics.
