The focus of AI adoption has shifted from big, visionary goals to making smart, strategic enhancements to everyday processes.
In her latest blog, Applying AI Where It Matters: How Agentic AI Improves Everyday Business Processes, Cheryl Allebrand, Senior Consultant, AI and Automation at CGI, reveals how agentic AI is already transforming day-to-day workflows without the need for massive overhauls.
In the blog, Cheryl spotlights real-world examples where subtle but powerful AI interventions have improved service delivery, reduced costs, and streamlined operations. She shares practical frameworks, simple checkpoints, and case studies that help organisations identify where AI can deliver the greatest value, quietly but effectively.
Cheryl’s blog is a perfect prelude to her upcoming CGI AI Strategy Workshop – Perfecting POC Prep: Practical Steps to AI Success, taking place on June 3rd at County Hall, London, as part of the AFC Summer Conference 2025.
At the workshop, Cheryl will build on the concepts from her blog, guiding attendees through the tools and templates she uses to map AI opportunities and create actionable roadmaps for AI success.
