How do You Actually Get Started With AI?

“How do we actually get started with AI?”

I was asked this question today by a CEO.

Two answers:

1. top down. Pick your most important workflows. Rebuild them with AI integrated. Task by task. No shortcuts.

2. bottom up. Start a community of practice. For us it’s a 20-minute Friday all-hands. Two questions every week:

How did you use AI in a novel way last week?
What did you do last week that you wished AI could have helped with?

That second question is where the gold is.

Someone says “I wish AI could have done X” and three people on the team say “have you tried this?” That’s how fast this moves when you get a team thinking about it together.

Most organizations skip both of these. They buy tools, send a Slack message, and wonder why nothing changes.

Rewire the workflows from the top. Build the culture from the bottom.

That’s how you actually get started.

We’re offering a limited 4-week AI implementation sprint where we help you install AI in your organization. More details here: https://hubs.li/Q049HsWN0
