Project Management
Weekly workshops with internal and external stakeholders, enabled by digital tools like Figma, promoted transparency and accelerated iteration. Comprehensive project reviews ensured clear ownership, timely milestones, and continuous measurement against success criteria.
Workshop
Extensive preparation was undertaken prior to the workshop, including stakeholder interviews, custom facilitation guides, and tailored observation notes to ensure targeted engagement. Building on these insights, the AI Design Thinking workshop was precisely structured for the airport context. Discovery activities and ideation sessions enabled participants to unpack existing pain points, prioritize operational needs, and collaboratively envision innovative use cases for video analytics and AI.
The workshop featured interactive exercises, such as live use case mapping, generative AI demonstrations, and strategy-building activities, which fostered cross-departmental collaboration and knowledge sharing. The facilitation tools were specifically adapted to encourage input from both technical experts and business leaders, ensuring all perspectives were captured. As participants worked through challenges, they co-created actionable milestones and impact pathways, producing a concrete, prioritized roadmap for implementation.
The outcome was a detailed roadmap report, integrating actionable recommendations, investment planning, and a feasible deployment architecture that clearly aligned future analytics initiatives with the airport’s business goals.
The Solution
The consulting engagement adopted a robust AI design thinking framework, guiding stakeholders through collaborative workshops, iterative prototyping, and scenario-based problem solving. Discovery tools and workshops were used to clarify operational objectives, map existing processes, and uncover areas for transformation through AI and video analytics. The crafted solution focused on integrating real-time analytics and scalable data management, delivering actionable insights for security and airport operations.
The final deliverables included comprehensive architecture recommendations, detailed process enhancements, stakeholder alignment on key milestones, and continuous measurement strategies to sustain ongoing success post-deployment. This methodology laid the foundation for agile, smart airport operations and set the benchmark for future analytics projects within the organization.
