Implementation Patterns and Workflows

This lesson covers the 20 percent domain on using AI in an organization. The exam expects you to reason from opportunity to business case, stakeholder impact, project approach, risk, cost, benefit, and ongoing governance.

Find The Right Opportunity

Start with a business problem, not with an AI trend. Useful AI opportunities often involve repetitive decision support, pattern recognition, high-volume content handling, forecasting, personalization, anomaly detection, or making expert knowledge easier to access. Weak opportunities are unclear, lack data, create unacceptable risk, or solve a problem that simpler process improvement could solve faster.

Build The Business Case

  • Problem statement: what outcome needs to improve.
  • Scope: which users, data, processes, and decisions are included.
  • Benefits: efficiency, quality, consistency, insight, user experience, or risk reduction.
  • Costs: data preparation, technology, integration, training, governance, monitoring, and support.
  • Risks: privacy, bias, safety, explainability, reliability, change resistance, and vendor dependency.
  • Success measures: baseline, target, acceptance criteria, and review cadence.

Map Stakeholders

Stakeholders include sponsors, users, data owners, process owners, customers, compliance teams, security teams, subject experts, support teams, and people affected by the decision. Categorize them by influence, impact, responsibility, and the type of evidence they need before approving the work.

Choose A Project Approach

AI projects benefit from iterative delivery because assumptions about data, model behavior, user adoption, and risk controls need testing. Use pilots, prototypes, measurable acceptance criteria, and review points. Avoid treating AI as a one-time installation with no monitoring.

Govern The Solution After Launch

Ongoing governance includes owner assignment, data quality checks, model or output monitoring, incident handling, privacy review, security review, bias review, user training, version control, supplier oversight, and periodic retirement decisions. The exam may ask which activity keeps an AI solution safe and useful after initial deployment.

Practice Check

Take one AI opportunity from your workplace or study domain. Write the business case in six lines: objective, data, users, benefits, risks, and governance owner. Then decide whether the first step should be research, data cleanup, prototype, policy review, or no-go.
