The corporate incubation program prioritizes innovating directly with clients from the beginning. This philosophy ensures that an innovation solves a problem clients actually value and is conducive to their operating environment, de-risking the development and guaranteeing market relevance for the final product.
The primary driver for Cognizant's TriZeto AI Gateway was creating a centralized system for governance. This includes monitoring requests, ensuring adherence to responsible AI principles, providing transparency to customers, and having a 'kill switch' to turn off access instantly if needed.
Within a large corporation, an intrapreneur's success hinges on validating their idea with potential clients. Since internal investment is a zero-sum game, demonstrating market knowledge and a clear path to customer validation is crucial for convincing leadership to fund your project over competing priorities.
The TriZeto AI Gateway's key advantage is its ability to orchestrate workflows across a diverse suite of healthcare products, not just add siloed AI features. It acts as a reasoning engine on a canvas of enterprise-wide data and tools, creating holistic solutions that are difficult to replicate.
Generative AI and low-code tools empower individuals to perform tasks previously owned by specialized roles, like a PM creating a functional prototype. This blurs traditional job descriptions. The critical skill shifts from mere tool proficiency to learning how to collaborate effectively in new, blended team structures.
The most effective AI strategy focuses on 'micro workflows'—small, discrete tasks like summarizing patient data. By optimizing these countless small steps, AI can make decision-makers 'a hundred-fold more productive,' delivering massive cumulative value without relying on a single, high-risk autonomous solution.
