Are you feeling pulled in too many directions with all the new AI tech?
I recently spoke with Dan Lucarini, an AI industry analyst, about the whiplash effect leaders face from rapid AI advancements. Whether you’re just starting with AI basics or using advanced agents, constant shifts can disrupt focus and productivity. As Ben Angel, author of The Wolf of AI, emphasizes, embracing AI with purpose is vital to stay ahead.
Where do you and your team stand?
The Skeptic: Reluctant to adopt, viewing AI as a potential disruptor.
- Impact: This leads to hesitancy, while some team members may adopt AI on their own, creating misalignment.
- Adapt: Use ChatGPT as your editor for emails, communications, and brainstorming. Educate your team to ensure coordinated adoption.
The Curious Tester: Experimenting with AI tools but lacking consistent value.
- Impact: Disjointed use creates workflow issues and disrupts strategy.
- Adapt: Standardize with tools like ChatGPT (Plus) for research, Fathom AI for online meeting notes, and Perplexity AI for deeper research insights. Implement structured use so your team gains mastery without overwhelm.
The AI Enthusiast: Early adopters actively using AI but risk over-pivoting.
- Impact: Frequent tool changes can scatter focus and strain the team.
- Adapt: Focus on refining expertise with ChatGPT (Plus) for complex tasks and Notion AI for project management. Engage an AI expert for strategic deployment and establish a roadmap to manage new tools effectively.
TAKEAWAY: AI isn’t slowing down, and neither should your strategy. Remember, you can even use AI to help you understand AI. I once used ChatGPT to research Perplexity AI and found it incredibly insightful.
