AI Adoption Playbook

Business challenge

AI hype pushes owners to buy tools they never use. The right approach is one workflow, one tool, measured results.

Key decisions

Pick a workflow, pick an assistant, train the team weekly, measure hours saved.

Steps

1. Step 1 · decide

   Pick one use case

   Score candidate workflows by hours saved and quality risk.

2. Step 2 · decide

   Choose an AI assistant

   Pick based on tools you already use and data-handling comfort.

3. Step 3 · pilot

   Run a two-week pilot

   One team, one workflow, measure before and after.

4. Step 4 · operate

   Roll out weekly demos

   15 minutes per week beats a one-off training day.

Templates

Use-case scoring sheet, prompt library starter, weekly demo agenda.

Mistakes to avoid

Buying enterprise AI before you have a use case. Skipping team training. No baseline to measure against.
