Budgeting for Trade-Offs in Systems of Intelligence

Like any engineering product, Systems of Intelligence are all about trade-offs. Our latest research seeks to highlight some key trade-offs for which organizations have to budget explicitly. (See Figure 5 above).

The key take-away is that the business sponsors and the technical leaders responsible for implementing the new systems have to call out explicitly each of the trade-offs and make sure they are in alignment on the required value and necessary investment. Time, money, and potentially success itself hinges on this alignment.
