Don’t Shy Away From Embracing AI
Remember Blockbuster?
Once a dominant force in the video rental industry, they failed to foresee the impact of digitization and streaming technology.
Don't be the Blockbuster in your industry.
This week's nugget of wisdom:
Don't shy away from embracing AI in your business.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is more than just a buzzword—it's a game-changer that can actually revolutionize your operations and deliver unprecedented efficiencies.
But how can you get started with AI?
Here are three steps you can take this week:
1. Understand your needs: Examine your processes and identify areas where automation could save time or reduce errors. Could AI help you analyze data more effectively? Or perhaps it could streamline your customer service?
2. Learn from Others: Look at how other companies in your industry are using AI. Read case studies and industry reports. Schedule a call with an expert or join a webinar to get a deeper understanding.
3. Start Small: You don't have to revolutionize every aspect of your business at once. Choose one small project where AI could make a difference and focus on that. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
For example, as a consultant - and someone who is notorious for not being able to take notes while talking, I've found programs such as Noty.ai to be a game changer for my business.
Rather than worry about taking notes on a client call, I can focus on the client during the call and use Noty.ai in the background. Then after the call, I have a full written transcript of the call, and can then use it to create after call summaries, assign action items, and reiterate highlights from the call...all at the touch of a button. I then go in and tweak it and add things, but it is a million times more useful to my client than what I'm able to produce based purely on memory - or the random words on a page type of notes I took previously.
Don't let fear of the new or unknown hold you back. The future is here, and it's essential to adapt and innovate.
Embrace AI, and you'll be well on your way to staying ahead of the curve.
