Business Strategy - Impact of AI on a Business - Strategic Change

In the transformative era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the creative industry (as are others) is experiencing a rapid paradigm shift. Web Design and Marketing Agencies are among the sectors at the crux of this revolution. The main goal of this project is to dissect, understand, and strategize around the influx of AI in the creative industry. The project will require learners to: Conduct a thorough analysis of AI's implications on the creative sectors, specifically focusing on content creation, web design, photography, and video production. Identify the key drivers behind the shift towards AI, assessing its impact on both business operations and client needs. Develop a comprehensive report detailing the evolution of the industry, and how AI technologies are reshaping the competitive landscape. The centrepiece of the project will be helping us devise a multi-dimensional strategy that will allow us to adapt and thrive in the AI-driven future successfully. This strategy may cover: Service Evolution: A proposal for innovating and redefining our service offerings in light of AI technology. How can we best integrate AI into our services to deliver unparalleled value to our clients? Employee Upskilling: A roadmap for enhancing our team's skills and capabilities, to ensure our workforce stays relevant and competent in an AI-dominated environment. What are the key areas of development we should focus on? New Business Opportunities: An exploration of untapped opportunities that AI might present. Can we identify new services, client segments, or partnerships that we should consider? Mindset: We have team members reluctant to use AI, some who dismiss it and some who are using it daily in their job roles. We will need to address this digital transformation mindset within our business as well. By the end of the project, we aim to have a robust, dynamic strategy that not only prepares us for the ongoing AI revolution but positions us as pioneers in the space. This strategy will enable us to navigate through these industry shifts, capitalize on new opportunities, and continue providing exceptional value to our clients. For a college and its students, this project presents a thrilling opportunity to dive into one of the most exciting and disruptive trends of our time. A project that is possibly relevant in many industries - not just ours. Participants will gain invaluable hands-on experience in strategic thinking, trend analysis, and innovation management. They'll play a critical role in steering our business through a major industry transition - a powerful experience for any future business leader or strategist. Furthermore, their contributions will have lasting impacts on our business and our clients, adding a real-world impact to their academic journey. We propose we publish any work from this project on our website - as we expect it will also help many of our clients and others struggling on this journey, giving full credit to all parties involved. We expect it to be a section we will branch off our About Us page - as it is the biggest change that has happened to our industry since the internet started. The above are my thoughts on this - of course, a project team may have other ideas on how to approach this, which of course, we are fully open to. **Attached is an image of a content agency that had 100 employees and lost 75% of revenue by Feb 23 - by July 23 it is liquidated**
