Quiz 10: Business Applications & AI Transformation

Test your understanding of AI business applications, use case development, and transformation strategies.

Questions

Question 1 (Remember)

What is an AI use case?

  1. An AI model
  2. A specific business scenario where AI can solve a problem or create value
  3. A type of prompt
  4. A regulatory requirement
Answer

B) A specific business scenario where AI can solve a problem or create value - Use cases are defined opportunities to apply AI capabilities to address business challenges or capture opportunities.

Question 2 (Remember)

What is value mapping in the context of AI initiatives?

  1. Creating geographic maps
  2. Connecting AI capabilities to specific business value and outcomes
  3. Mapping API endpoints
  4. Visualizing neural networks
Answer

B) Connecting AI capabilities to specific business value and outcomes - Value mapping links AI features to measurable business benefits like cost savings, revenue growth, or risk reduction.

Question 3 (Understand)

Why is use case prioritization important for AI initiatives?

  1. It's required by regulations
  2. Resources are limited; prioritization ensures focus on highest-value opportunities
  3. It's only important for large companies
  4. It's unnecessary if you have funding
Answer

B) Resources are limited; prioritization ensures focus on highest-value opportunities - Organizations cannot pursue all possibilities simultaneously; prioritization directs effort toward initiatives with the best return.

Question 4 (Understand)

What distinguishes "quick wins" from "strategic initiatives" in AI adoption?

  1. Quick wins are always better
  2. Strategic initiatives require no planning
  3. Quick wins deliver fast value; strategic initiatives address long-term transformation
  4. They are identical concepts
Answer

C) Quick wins deliver fast value; strategic initiatives address long-term transformation - Quick wins build momentum and demonstrate value rapidly, while strategic initiatives tackle larger, more complex transformations over time.

Question 5 (Apply)

You need to justify an AI investment to executives. Which approach is most effective?

  1. Focus only on technology capabilities
  2. Avoid financial projections
  3. Present clear ROI estimates with identified risks and success metrics
  4. Promise guaranteed results
Answer

C) Present clear ROI estimates with identified risks and success metrics - Executive decisions require business cases with quantified benefits, acknowledged risks, and measurable success criteria.

Question 6 (Apply)

A retail company wants to implement AI. Which use case would be a good starting point?

  1. Full autonomous store operations
  2. Customer inquiry chatbot for common questions
  3. Complete supply chain automation
  4. AI-only inventory management
Answer

B) Customer inquiry chatbot for common questions - A chatbot for routine questions is a bounded, lower-risk starting point that delivers visible value while building organizational AI capability.

Question 7 (Analyze)

Compare AI applications in healthcare versus retail in terms of implementation considerations:

  1. Implementation is identical
  2. Healthcare requires stricter regulatory compliance and safety validation
  3. Retail has more regulations
  4. Neither has significant considerations
Answer

B) Healthcare requires stricter regulatory compliance and safety validation - Healthcare AI faces HIPAA, FDA, and patient safety requirements that make implementation more complex than many retail applications.

Question 8 (Analyze)

What are common failure patterns in AI transformation initiatives?

  1. Starting with clear objectives
  2. Technology-first without business alignment, inadequate data, lack of change management
  3. Involving stakeholders early
  4. Measuring outcomes
Answer

B) Technology-first without business alignment, inadequate data, lack of change management - Common failures include prioritizing technology over business value, underestimating data quality needs, and neglecting organizational change.

Question 9 (Evaluate)

An organization has 20 potential AI use cases. What's the best approach to selecting which to pursue first?

  1. Implement all simultaneously
  2. Choose the most technically interesting
  3. Evaluate using criteria like business value, feasibility, strategic alignment, and resource requirements
  4. Select randomly
Answer

C) Evaluate using criteria like business value, feasibility, strategic alignment, and resource requirements - Structured prioritization frameworks ensure objective selection based on multiple relevant factors.

Question 10 (Create)

Design an AI transformation roadmap for a manufacturing company with goals of: improved quality, reduced downtime, and enhanced worker safety.

  1. Single AI project addressing all goals
  2. No AI is appropriate for manufacturing
  3. Phased approach: predictive maintenance (downtime), quality inspection AI (quality), safety monitoring (safety), with integration and scaling phases
  4. Wait for perfect AI technology
Answer

C) Phased approach: predictive maintenance (downtime), quality inspection AI (quality), safety monitoring (safety), with integration and scaling phases - Comprehensive transformation requires addressing each goal with appropriate AI applications, then integrating and scaling proven solutions.
