Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining an increasingly steady foothold in society. Driven by the promise that it will help maximize the value of data, more and more organizations are implementing AI in their operations. When AI becomes too complex, though, applications seem to go entirely their own way. This has led to a call for ‘Explainable AI’: a way to understand and explain the outcomes of algorithms. In practice, however, this often turns out to be more difficult than expected.

Not surprising, since culture is an abstract concept that is difficult to direct or control. Here’s what we learned from experience about the elements of a data-driven culture, based on the most tried and tested cultural dimensions, that creates fertile ground for lasting impact.
