  • Key supporting business activities and programs that will ultimately determine success
  • Core GenAI technologies, including foundation models and capabilities
  • A set of use cases tied to measurable business outcomes
  • A well-orchestrated trust and oversight program to ensure that GenAI technologies can be deployed in a secure and sustainable manner
