Would you like to know how to position your organization in the fast-growing field of applied machine learning just like in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for technology providers? Let’s dive into a unique framework that can help you understand where you stand and what steps you can take to improve.
In this framework, we focus on two critical dimensions: comprehensive modeling and iteration velocity.
- Comprehensive modeling involves defining problems, utilizing data, engineer features, and applying holistic modeling approaches to solve business problems effectively.
- Iteration velocity denotes the organization’s ability to execute machine learning processes swiftly and efficiently, enhancing model quality and business outcomes.
The most successful applied machine learning organizations possess the ability to balance mature model development processes with rapid iteration, resulting in comprehensive problem-solving strategies.
The four quadrants in this framework are:
- Leaders — Organizations at the forefront of the market, leveraging innovative technologies and modeling methods to stay ahead.
- Rising Stars — Companies with high development velocity rapidly iterating to catch up with leaders.
- Legacy Players — Established enterprises with good solutions at risk of falling behind due to slow iteration and organizational challenges.
- Low Performers — Organizations with limited impact due to lack of vision and slow execution in the AI space.
For success, it’s essential to balance problem-solving with process investment. By implementing key strategies like swim lanes, project prioritization checklists, retrospectives, and bottleneck analysis, organizations can build a culture of continuous improvement and iterate quickly to become leaders in the field of applied machine learning.
