Chapter 7
What network leaders need to do next
Plan, strategise, and build the foundations.
AI isn’t going to change your network overnight, but it will alter the way it’s operated. In fact, this shift to proactive, automated, and integrated systems is already happening.
The opportunity
Reduce operational pressure, improve resilience, support clinical environments more effectively.
The challenge
Deliver AIOps in a practical, controlled, and sustainable way.
The best approach
Start with the right problems, build the foundations, and choose a suitable operating model.
