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 does not include details of the work, figures, results or a 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.
