Scaling By Breaking Up
What is the purpose of spinning off Project Asia Data from BlackStorm?
Over the past few years, as BlackStorm scales up our clients business post-COVID in Southeast Asia, we encountered the classic case of "scratching our own itch."
In various markets, we noticed that the quality of outputs varied for different reasons. To ensure consistency across our deliverables, we recognized that AI could be the tool to bridge this gap.
More than a year ago, I began experimenting with the integration of AI into our business processes. The goal was to streamline our output and ensure that employees had access to the right tools and best practices, working cohesively as one.
In one of the messages that I sent out to the team was 'Go play with AI tools like ChatGPT, sign up if you like. We will be using them to enhance our jobs.'
Very quickly, the adoption and adaption of these tools, went from business use to our own home too. My kids themselves been on CiCi, Copilot and even META to generate images and getting answers to their homeworks.
With unwavering confidence, we have successfully rolled out these innovations not just internally, but also to our sibling companies.
By balancing AI strategies with advisory insights, we empower decision-makers and business owners alike.
Today, I am proud to announce that we are ready to spin off a separate entity. This new venture, Project Asia Data AI Consultancy Firm will focus on helping larger companies achieve the same efficiency and consistency we have tested and implemented for a select pool of clients. And we will do this while keeping operational and capital expenses manageable.
Adopting and adapting technologies doesn't have to drive up costs—our journey proves just that.
