Many organizations struggle with scaling AI initiatives beyond pilot projects, often due to fragmented data pipelines and insufficient governance structures. What systematic approach do you recommend for successfully transitioning AI projects from proof of concept to enterprise-wide production deployment?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, very interesting question. See, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when the charge GBD started, right? The way I started with charge GBD, there was a burst to start exploring things, and there was a time when a lot of POCs happened, right? But as things matured, they mature similarly with our own organization also, when we started maturing on things, we started the journey now with looking at value that where is the value now? Start with that process and then look at building or scaling the solutions beyond that part, right? So what is the first important part? Look at the value and then start scaling them, right? We have created an intake process where we start identifying the ROIs from the value perspective, what it delivers, and focus on those use cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what are the most common governance gaps you have observed that prevent AI pilots from scaling?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The important gap, I would say, is not really understanding the technology, what value it can bring. It starts with that, right? Because this is a technology that is rapidly evolving, and having no good understanding of where it delivers value, how it delivers value is the starting point. I think the literacy levels of AI need to increase with that, then people can understand where the value comes from, and then use them to scale the solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With generative AI transforming multiple business functions, where do you see the biggest value creation opportunities for enterprises? And how has your experience at Philips shaped your perspective on prioritizing gen AI investments?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value comes pretty much in every area because obviously, if you look at wherever there is data, there is AI, right? You can leverage AI wherever there&#8217;s data. So the scaling starts from looking at the processes where you can involve AI, right? We kind of do a value mapping pro propositions. We look at the data of each of those processes and then start scaling those, leveraging AI there. That&#8217;s what we do at Philips, right? The main important element is to start looking at the data silos. Where earlier in the traditional way we were not engaging the data, but now with AI, the capabilities available to you start looking at the whole value chain, right? Where AI can infuse, there are some areas where probably AI is not the solution, but wherever there&#8217;s data, there&#8217;s always a possibility that AI can be involved either to streamline the process or improve the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what criteria do you use to determine which business processes are most suitable for gen AI transformation versus traditional automation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, as I said, gen AI is not the solution for everything, right? We need to really look at the process bottlenecks. What are the challenges that you have in the processes, right? Start from there. Wherever there is an initiative where you can automate by simple, you know, poor automate structures, right? Go for that. Don&#8217;t use AI because AI is expensive. And look at solutions where AI really makes sense from an RI standpoint, right? It is there. You need to make investments means<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The synergy between cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities is crucial, yet cloud costs can spiral quickly with AI workloads. How do you establish governance frameworks that optimize this synergy while maintaining cost control?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs are crucial, right? AI, as I said, is expensive if you don&#8217;t do it right. What we have done within Philips is we have created what we call a foundation Gen I foundation, which is a framework to, you know, optimize the cloud cost. Right now, we use the shared model where when somebody wants to develop an AI solution, they come to the foundation and leverage the cross-functional capabilities that bring stability, which is also secure, thereby reducing the overlapping costs, right? That&#8217;s how we have started the journey. Again, we are looking at a lot more things now in the future, where we bring an agent setup and all of that to drive the cost factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there&#8217;s a fundamental principle. &#8220;AI is only as good as the data&#8221; is a fundamental principle. Based on your experience building AI infrastructure at Philips, what comprehensive approach do you recommend for preparing and maintaining enterprise data assets for AI readiness?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to AI, data is a strategic asset, right? We need to start looking at data. Where are the silos in the whole value chain process where we can leverage AI and look at not only just using the existing data, but curating it to meet the AI needs, right? Because structured data, unstructured data, the semi-structured data, all of these are important elements to distinguish when you use AI. AI is strong with unstructured data when it comes to no sorry non-structured data. But when it comes to the unstructured data, right, there&#8217;s where I think we need to really look at, right? Which is a huge potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what data quality standards and validation processes are essential before feeding data into AI models, especially in regulated industries?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We at Philips are in a regulated industry in the health tech domain. So there are a lot of laws which govern the use of AI, especially if you look at the most recent one is the EUA act, which is already in place. So having a very kind of neat, responsible AI framework is crucial to that. We at Philips have established a setup where we have eight governing principles, which drive the responsible air framework, which includes looking at biases, looking at responsibilities, looking at observative, transparency, et cetera, all of that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And one of the biggest organizational challenges is addressing employee fears that AI will replace human workers. How are you fostering successful human AI collaboration models that demonstrate AI as an augmentation tool rather than a replacement threat?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, that&#8217;s a very crucial part of the journey that we have started in Phillips.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We have all the best tools that are in the market, whether it&#8217;s Copilot, whether it is Charge GD enterprise edition, or other tools. We also have a homegrown charge, GPD, as well. So we have empowered our employees with all of these tools. The primary intent there is to enable them to learn AI, use it for the, you know, their own personal productivity, also from other areas where it&#8217;ll benefit them, so that the fear of being left out or leaving out is not there to start with. But then, not only that, they also contribute towards the larger AI journey that the organization is moving towards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so AI implementations require significant investment in infrastructure, talent, and technology. How do you establish meaningful ROI measurement frameworks for AI initiatives, and what metrics have proven most valuable in demonstrating business impact at Phillips?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very important question. As I mentioned earlier,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you don&#8217;t leverage AI, well, it is going to be very expensive. So the journey starts from the right, from the demand intake process, which we call looking at the value proposition from the beginning. Now, if you&#8217;re going to invest a certain amount into this process, what value are you gonna derive out of it? Whether it is the speed of implementation, or whether it is the data now, which is also a crucial part of the whole AI journey. You need to look at each element to see what it&#8217;ll return to you, and then scale those solutions, right? Do look at each and every element of the whole value chain process, right? Whether it is also on the literacy side, there is also RO out there, whether it is scaling a chatbot solution, then look at the ROI, what are you taking out to bring in this process, which is going to help you improve the ROI I think that&#8217;s where it starts. But in addition to all of this, I think the crucial part is looking at doing it in a very responsible way that also has an element of cost to that. So you bake all of this into your whole value chain process. That is how you approach it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what approach do you take when AI projects show strong qualitative benefits, but struggle to demonstrate quantifiable financial returns?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, as I said, you start with the value chain process, right? You look at the returns, what you are intending to get out of it right now, obviously, there are certain areas in the initial period of time where there might not be written. But from a long-term perspective, you still have a focus plan where you extend that, and you know, you&#8217;ll be able to get the returns. So if your plan is clean, your plan is robust, then I think you can easily make those, you know, ROI distinctions<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking towards the next frontier of AI innovation, from autonomous agents to multimodal AI systems, how is your organization preparing for these emerging capabilities while maintaining current operational excellence?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our journey started when it came into picture, when we started with initial POCs or small chatbots, and all of that. But if you look at what the industry is moving towards, there&#8217;s a rapid change. Rapid new things coming into the picture to catch them is very, very difficult. But then we started our journey in a small place. We have now started looking at agent frameworks. We are also locking into the data improvement initiatives, again, which is also crucial<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, right? We are taking baby steps there, but considering where the industry is moving, there&#8217;s an element of big governance steps that needs to be taken because while you&#8217;re catching up on the technology side, you also need to catch up on the regulation side, right? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that is the challenge that we are trying to address. How do we catch up with the technology, along with being responsible as well, right? So somewhere we need to balance that. But yeah, we are going step by step there so that we don&#8217;t end up in a situation where we are left behind from a technology standpoint, but also we are also governed well from a regulatory standpoint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a user experience perspective, how can marketing teams leverage generative AI to create more personalized and engaging customer journeys without compromising privacy or appearing intrusive?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the important initiatives that we&#8217;ve taken is to leverage AI in the customer journey, right? We have built a tool for using the consumer insights journey of the innovation process of our product development, right? We get the feedback from customers, how we as a company are faring with our products, how they are faring, et cetera. That huge amount of feedback that is available in the public forums is leveraged. We feed that into our AI systems, which then drives the innovation process of what our products have to improve upon or what are the new products that we are supposed to, you know, build. I think that&#8217;s the crucial part that we&#8217;re leveraging AI for. Now, that&#8217;s one part of the journey. But then also when it comes to marketing, content marketing, no presentations or marketing drives, all of that. AI is also infused there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what ethical boundaries should marketers establish when using AI to analyze customer behavior and preferences?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, as I mentioned already, responsible AI is a very important element, whether it&#8217;s brand reputation in place, or whether it is your legal compliance requirements everywhere, it&#8217;s a crucial element. So we have established a responsibility framework, which not only drives the technology angle, what needs to be done to meet the compliance angle, but more from also looks at the reputation of the company as well. What needs to be done, how we release products that are not harmful to the end customers who use our products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ve established upskilling programs like the &#8220;Gen AI Ninja Certification.&#8221; What key competencies should professionals develop to remain relevant in an AI-driven workplace?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, that&#8217;s very crucial. Employees, as you already touched upon, saying that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the fear of not catching up or no AI replacing jobs, I think that&#8217;s a crucial element to address within our organization. And towards that goal, we started an issue called certification, which is basically nothing but empowering the employees to embrace AI so that they can be part of the journey and not be fearful of AI taking our jobs or no AI impacting them. This journey has been very, very successful because, you know, close to half of the population has been enabled on this certification program, and a lot more are in the journey. We have launched three levels, starting at the beginner level, which is the basic program, then at the mid-intermediate level, which we call as yellow belt. And then a green belt, which is the highest level, is pure technology-driven. So in this journey, we are bringing in the feedback, what is, you know, given by the employees and continuously feeding into the process to improve the latest and the greatest that is coming in the technologies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what does your typical day at Phillips look like? You wake up in the morning and then<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yep, wake up in the morning, look at my calendar. What are the important steps to be done today, and accomplished today? Get ready, go to the office. Work through those schedules that I have prioritized. Look at what is all done? Email responses. Obviously, that&#8217;s part of the whole day program. And in the end, see if I achieved what I did for the plan for the day,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And how much of your time is taken up in meetings?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of time, I would say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can marketing leaders use AI to better understand and predict customer behavior while maintaining ethical data user practices and building customer trust?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rust is an important factor. If you look at where the market is setting, there&#8217;s a lot of talk on AI happening, but there&#8217;s also a lot of talk of whether AI is reliable, right? While it brings in a lot of benefits, it is on our side to bring the element of trust into the solutions that we are building, and how do we achieve that? You know, we make the solutions very clean. When I say clean, it means that when somebody uses the solution, they should clearly understand how it works, what steps it takes to arrive at a decision, for example, or what are the, you know, important elements that it uses to come up with a solution, right? You give the sources of the solution, and what it gives you. These are some of the important steps when it comes to, you know, building that trust. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, without that, obviously, it is always difficult to, you know, get the trust of the customers, right? So you need to bake in all of these elements, which builds the confidence of the customers or the consumers, right? Especially in the medical domain, there are regulations for that. But then there&#8217;s also a repetition at stake here, right? So these are very important steps when you&#8217;re building an AI solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking towards the future, then, what emerging trends in AI governance and responsible AI do you believe will become critical for organizations to address in the next five years?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, one, I think if you look at where the technology&#8217;s heading now, agents are going to play a very big role in how you work in an organization, right? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the important element now is how do you govern these agents, right? You have to build a framework where you allow the technology to be used, right? But we also need to build the governance around the agent setup, right? Agent frameworks, agent orchestration. Also, looking at the responsible element of the AI orchestration is important, right? Technology is going to change a lot, but then catching up from a governance stand also is going to be equally important because trust, as I mentioned already, is a crucial factor. If you are not trusted with using AI, then obviously, whatever solution you put in place is not going to work, right? So yes, this is one great area that I think everybody, not only Phillips as such, will have to be really focusing on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what new ethical considerations might emerge as AI systems become more autonomous and capable?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah. Obviously, as I mentioned, right, more and more autonomous <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI is going to bring those additional challenges. Do we really trust it right now? How do we give the transparency of how the AI is behaving is going to be crucial, right? How do you give out the usage when it comes, and no, you are going to use it? It should be clear and transparent to you, saying that no, this is what the AI is doing to you. And I think the most important part is upfront, being that no, it is an AI, right? That starts the journey of being, you know, trustful here, right? The journey starts when it starts using AI, then you build those solutions, you build those transparency elements so that the solution is clean when it comes to the customer user, and it&#8217;s easily usable for the user, right? So I would say that&#8217;s where the journey starts. Build the trust upfront, saying that I&#8217;m using AI to give you a solution, but then this is how I&#8217;m using AI so that the solution is clean for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Saksham Sharda: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last question for you is of a personal kind: what would you be doing in your life, if not this?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Rakesh Doddamane: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think I will be doing agriculture.
