Common Costly Mistakes in AI Implementation - and How to Avoid Them!

Having poor data and weak data management

Incomplete, inconsistent, siloed, biased, or poor-quality data leads to unreliable AI outputs and skews insights, damaging decision-making, business performance and brand reputation.

AI models are only as good as the data they are trained on (“garbage in, garbage out”).

  • Establish a Data Strategy with a rigorous Data Governance framework — Set clear policies, standardised data definitions, ownership, and accountability

  • Invest in robust, continuous Data Management — Maintain disciplined processes for data collection, storage, maintenance, and lifecycle management

  • Define and track Data Quality KPIs

  • Break down and integrate data silos

  • Monitor, cleanse and enrich data continuously

  • Invest in up-to-date, high-quality, representative and unbiased data sets

  • Promote data literacy and shared standards across teams

  • Maintain a feedback loop and continuously update AI models
