Industry-Specific Knowledge with AI to Fast-Track Results
LISBON,
Portugal and BOSTON,
Nov. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ducker Carlisle, a global
market research, strategy consulting and M&A advisory firm,
today announced a new SparkWise Data and AI service that
combines the firm's 30+ years of industry-specific consulting
experience with leading-edge data management and AI knowhow to
drive new cost and operational efficiencies for corporate clients
and OEM aftersales departments. The team is based in a new
Lisbon office to take advantage of

Data, AI & Measurement Lead for Automotive, Luxury and Travel;

"Successful AI implementation requires more than technology
expertise. It's a strategic effort that optimizes results only if
it's built on a deep understanding and alignment with the client's
particular business needs, objectives, operations and challenges,"
said Paul Gurizzian, Ducker Carlisle
CEO. "Pairing our decades of consulting work in specific industry
sectors with the skills of AI experts who have experience in those
same sectors enables us to deliver what we call 'True Impact AI'
that drives meaningful benefits to the bottom line."
Focusing on both strategy and solutions, the new SparkWise Data
& AI service leverages Ducker Carlisle's extensive knowledge of
the automotive, heavy equipment, building and construction,
industrial and materials industries; aftersales teams in those
industries; and private equity firms' portfolio clients in the same
business sectors. Services include:

automation use cases and roadmap for each client, based on
market-specific insights developed over decades of business
consulting as well as expert analysis of feasibility, costs,
implementation timelines and potential ROI

AI deployments, including data mapping across disparate
