The challenges facing AI implementation projects are complex as organizations look to unravel challenges stemming from data quality, privacy and security, IT infrastructure, and even financial justification.

Converge's outcomes-driven Data & AI Design Studio tackles the human-centered challenges enterprises face and empowers clients to move beyond AI experimentation and into execution.
