As Project Leader AI, you will be part of the AI taskforce within the IMB department and work closely with the members of the Taskforce and DADEL. As project leader, you are responsible for leading various AI projects. One of the projects is the further development of the ELK chatbot for the organization. Other projects are carried out by DADEL. You will coordinate and participate in various projects from start to finish and ensure that the release and acceptance of solutions proceed smoothly.

In addition, you are responsible for ensuring the coherence between this project and other ongoing projects within the organization. Your first assigned project is the further development of the Chatbot ELK. You will work at the organizational level and be the link with the supplier. For successful implementation, knowledge of the organization's needs is necessary. Consider input from the various service units, each with their functional wishes. Furthermore, policy and frameworks at the national and ministerial level are decisive.

This will need to be translated into the design of the provision and its use and setup. Think of policy in the area of information management, such as the WOO and the Archives Act. But also from information security and Cloud policy. The development trajectories at DADEL often lack guidance and direction. The KDs are not skilled in defining projects (proposals), concretizing results and expectations, ensuring progress, and navigating the client-supplier relationship effectively.

As a result, the lead time is considerably longer than it needs to be for these development trajectories, and the initial results regularly deviate significantly from expectations.
