McKinsey & Company, through its Artificial Intelligence alerts list, presents new content titled «Turning data into decisions: Lessons from professional cycling».

According to the email, Team Visma | Lease a Bike is working with QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, to transform the way coaches and strategists plan, analyze scenarios and respond as a race unfolds. The email invites readers to explore the «winning strategy», but its body includes no details of the work, no figures, no results and no technical description of the tools used.

The email also recommends two other pieces under «Also Consider»: «How AI-enabled execution became Reckitt's 'tenfold game changer'» and «How Toshiba Tec and McKinsey are turning retail data into real-time decisions with NVIDIA». Only these headlines are known from the email, with no further information about their content.

In general, communications of this kind from consulting firms serve as a preview of a full article hosted on their website. To learn the details of the collaboration between Visma | Lease a Bike and QuantumBlack, one would need to read the original article.
