    According to Randall L. Englund and Alfonso Bucero (co-authors of the book Project Sponsorship) project sponsorship plays a key role in the success of AI projects, ensuring that they receive the necessary resources, executive support, and alignment with organizational goals. We are in the AI era and we believe that sponsoring AI projects presents unique challenges and opportunities due to the complexity, ethical considerations, and evolving regulatory landscape of artificial intelligence.

    We would like to share with you some key aspects of Sponsoring AI Projects:

    1. Strategic Alignment

    Project sponsors must ensure that AI projects align with the organization’s long-term vision and strategic objectives. AI initiatives need to be integrated with business goals to drive innovation and competitive advantage. Every project needs to have a project sponsor assigned who will work with the project sponsor. We believe they are an iseparable team.

      🎯 Are You Developing Your Strategy Using a Traditional or Agile Methodology?

      In today’s dynamic business environments, many leaders face a fundamental question:

      What is the most suitable methodology for developing and executing organizational strategies?
      Should we adopt the traditional ( Waterfall methodology), with its clear and sequential steps? Or should we rely on the (Agile methodology) to adapt continuously to ongoing changes?

      The answer depends on the nature of the strategy itself, how clear the vision is, and whether the surrounding market variables are stable or constantly evolving.

      🏗️ First: The Traditional Methodology (Waterfall):
      This methodology is used when the vision, strategy, and objectives are clear—both in the short and long term. It’s ideal for expansion plans in large companies or the execution of long-term government strategies (for example, Saudi Vision 2030).

        Hi Mohammed, thank you for sharing your valuable insights. I think your breakdown of Waterfall and Agile is very clear and helpful. I especially like the idea of combining both methodologies to suit different needs. The hybrid approach can be especially powerful, it’s a great way to keep the business aligned with its vision and still remain adaptable.

        I live to be challenged, whether it involves finding a solution to a difficult problem, creating something new, or finding ways to improve an existing product or process. Challenges are occasions to learn and grow, to expand my horizons in new directions. Challenges also offer the opportunity to connect with new people, exchange ideas, and build new perspectives.
