How AI is Transforming Key Roles In Transformation

AI is driving change across the board, especially in roles with the deep technical demands all transformation specialists will be familiar with. At Malikshaw, we’ve seen firsthand how AI is redefining these positions, helping organisations optimise their resources, improve data accuracy, and streamline complex projects. It’s an exciting time to be in this space.

Predictive Analytics: Planning with Precision

One of the biggest challenges faced by transformation specialists is the uncertainty in project timelines and risk assessment. AI-driven predictive analytics tools can analyse historical data from previous deployments to provide a roadmap that is highly tailored and predictive. By harnessing AI, consultants can now anticipate potential delays, resource bottlenecks, and risks with a level of precision that wasn’t possible before. This allows for more efficient allocation of resources and more accurate, reliable project timelines.

Automation of Repetitive Tasks: Freeing Up High-Value Skills

The same people often spend a significant portion of their time on repetitive, manual tasks—think data validation, checks, and simple data transfers. AI-powered automation tools are revolutionising this part of the job. By automating repetitive or rule-based processes, specialists can focus on higher-value strategic tasks, like complex problem-solving and stakeholder management. This shift isn’t just improving efficiency; it’s allowing specialists to invest their expertise where it matters most.

Enhanced Data Quality for Migration Specialists*

Data migration projects are notorious for being high-stakes and challenging, especially when it comes to data quality. AI-driven data cleaning and validation tools are drastically improving the accuracy and reliability of migrated data. Machine learning algorithms can detect anomalies, flag duplicates, and even predict potential issues based on patterns in the data. By catching errors before they escalate, these tools help data migration specialists deliver cleaner, more accurate migrations, ensuring smoother go-lives and fewer post-migration issues.

Real-Time Collaboration and Monitoring: Bridging Teams Globally

Remote or geographically diverse teams are increasingly common in global deployments. It’s now possible to monitor progress in real time, with AI providing immediate insights into the status of different project stages. These tools help teams remain aligned, even when working across multiple time zones, and empower them to make data-driven decisions faster than in the past.

Risk Management and Proactive Troubleshooting

The more complex the project the more risk is involved. AI tools now allow specialists to monitor vast amounts of project data and receive real-time alerts when potential risks arise. From flagging unexpected delays to detecting errors during a migration process, AI is enabling proactive troubleshooting that mitigates risks before they impact the project. This capability is invaluable for transformation specialists, who can respond immediately and maintain seamless cutovers.

Embracing AI: A Strategic Advantage

While AI may initially seem like a disruptor, it’s more accurately an enabler for professionals in transformation roles such as deployment, cutover, and data migration. By embracing AI tools, specialists can not only enhance their efficiency and accuracy but also elevate their strategic influence in projects. With AI handling routine tasks and assisting with predictive insights, these professionals are now better equipped to focus on innovation, stakeholder management, and value creation.

At Malikshaw, we’re excited to be part of this transformation, supporting specialists who are leveraging AI to drive better outcomes for clients and redefine the future of tech deployment.
