Microsoft Best of Business AI is an interactive thought leadership platform designed to help organizations understand how artificial intelligence can be implemented successfully within their businesses. Recognizing that many leaders wanted practical guidance rather than technical theory, Microsoft partnered with industry experts and organizations to share insights, strategies, and success stories. Foolproof created an engaging digital experience that combined case studies, videos, guides, interactive content, and educational resources. The platform was designed to make AI more accessible, helping businesses build confidence and identify opportunities for innovation.
Helping business leaders understand AI more effectively through the power of content with Microsoft
Thought leadership content
With comprehensive tools and services, Microsoft has become a leader in the AI space. The next step? Bringing the rest of the world into the conversation. A large portion of top enterprises plan on increasing AI investments, but without the right frameworks and opportunities, this can be a daunting task. We stepped up to help Microsoft change their position to better support these organisations, giving them the insights and tactics they needed to succeed.
Storytelling in the AI space
To really bring other companies into the conversation, Microsoft needed to do more than put out white papers explaining how their own AI works or why it’s been successful. Instead, they needed to facilitate a true dialogue and let other businesses do the talking about how to best use AI. To form that dialogue we consulted with 10 Microsoft partners across multiple industries to dive deeper into how AI can affect culture, business strategies, and accessibility. With this insight we designed Best of Business AI 2021—an immersive, interactive site that invites business leaders to go behind the scenes for a deeper understanding of how top organisations maximise their use of AI.
