 5 Reasons Why 3-minute AI stories work best for senior leadership

The CXO's and top business leaders love to see and hear a story, rather than clutters of datasets and graphs and charts with unnecessarily microlevel details. More than 80% (2020 AI adoption survey of 350+ leaders) CXOs consider AI to be the most strategically important change lever available at hand. Therefore, the enterprise AI narratives and AI stories are to be built keeping their viewpoints and priorities in mind. 

However, senior leaders cannot sit through day-long storytelling exercises, even for strategic initiatives like AI. For them, the most suitable technique for AI storytelling is to emulate the 3-minute data storytelling technique. 

The 3-minute AI stories will resonate best with leadership and generate multi-pronged benefits for business adoption and leverage of AI:

• Will quickly get top management attention to the Top 2-3(max) most critical business problems (to be) solved by AI
• Will declutter unnecessary AI-related tech explanations and evangelism: Business leaders care about business outcomes as their KPIs, not about usage of esoteric algorithms playing some proxy games with some dummy data without any specific problem context
• Will speak the language of the business e.g. potential (pre)/ realized(post)  impact of the prioritized/ planned  or executed (post) AI implementations, on the top-priority business/ ops problems of leaders
• Will articulate the AI Impact in a Big Picture format: shifting the spotlight/ context from low-impact point tasks/ small tactical projects, to much larger, strategic, key differentiator AI narratives for the competitive market landscape
• Will quickly empower executive leadership to articulate and communicate unique and potentially industry-game changing AI leverage of their organization, to the external market and partner ecosystems: Thus giving them a view of the organization's AI maturity, capability, culture, agility & scalability, adaptability and competitiveness. This will in turn improve the organization's brand equity, talent attractiveness, competitive positioning and strategic value for the industry. 

So, both for TSP partners and internal AI CoE leaders and teams, the ability to build and tell effective 3-minute AI stories is a CSF.
