The Hidden Gold Mine in Your Organization
Last month, I met with a CEO who was overwhelmed by all the AI possibilities. "Everything seems important," she said. "How do I know where to start?" Her company, a mid-sized manufacturing firm, had departments clamoring for AI solutions, each claiming their area should be first.
Three months later, her company has successfully implemented AI in three key areas, with measurable results. The secret wasn't choosing the most advanced technology - it was choosing the right places to begin.
Finding Your Sweet Spot
Think of AI implementation like mining for gold. You don't dig everywhere at once - you look for the richest veins first. In your organization, these "rich veins" have three characteristics:
- High impact on business results
- Clear, measurable outcomes
- Quick implementation potential
