Continuously refine how the central AI team works with divisions (e.g. consulting, joint development, or self-service models) to maximize value and satisfaction

Monitor and report on the impact of AI solutions. Track key success metrics such as efficiency gains, error reduction, revenue uplift, and user satisfaction. Use these insights to improve services and demonstrate the business value of AI initiatives
