This is beyond confidence and now here's your host, giv Park.

25
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.239
Good morning listeners, It's Tuesday. I'm so thrilled to be

26
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.519
here with you all. So today we are going to

27
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.519
be talking about how we can scale with AI. How

28
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.680
can leaders bring in AI into the organizations. If you're

29
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.680
an entrepreneurial, how can you bring AI into your lives?

30
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:35.920
How can you dance with AI without losing your soul?

31
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.359
Because the key thing to remember is that at the

32
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:45.280
intersection of AI and business, it is very important to

33
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:51.959
have humans at the home because without humans, without us,

34
00:01:52.959 --> 00:02:00.599
AI is not anything. So as you scale or as

35
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.519
you adopt, really crucial to have that in mind. So

36
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.960
first of all, let's tackle and talk about the feelings

37
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.960
and emotions that nobody talks about. Because when you're going

38
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.400
for a adoption, people are going to be thinking yay,

39
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:25.000
especially early adopters. There's a lot of excitement, enthusiasm, what

40
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.039
more can be done? This could change everything? Then there

41
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:35.479
could be curiosity what's possible here? Because in twenty twenty

42
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:40.800
two when open AI came in, people were just kind

43
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.360
of getting to know and like thinking, h this is

44
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.280
something new. But I want you to travel back a

45
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.080
few years back. You know, we did not have GPS.

46
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.199
We had those maps, and I still remember taking those

47
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.960
big maps and going on trips and having fun. And

48
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:09.439
then came GPS, then came email, then came automated voice messages.

49
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.280
So EI has been around, just not so much in

50
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:19.120
the face. So the first thing is to take a

51
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.159
step back and look at AI for what it is,

52
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.080
coming to learn about AI, checking it out with curiosity

53
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.639
what's possible here while knowing that it is not perfect.

54
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.199
That is the critical piece to remember. And then sometimes

55
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.560
what happens, especially if you're just kind of getting to

56
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.800
know AI, or if you're a small organization, or even

57
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:57.879
if you're a big organization, you bring in AI and

58
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:02.280
then you have started tool, you're doing pilot, and while

59
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:07.400
you're uploading some features, you are developing training programs. Every

60
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.919
twenty seconds, there is that change, there is that oh mom,

61
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.919
And then what happens is okay. The first question could

62
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.319
be where do I even start? Another could be I've

63
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:21.439
already started, I've already implied, and now there's hold this upgrade.

64
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.360
What am I going to do? And as a result,

65
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:33.639
of that, it can create that uncertainty, that feeling of

66
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.000
doubt as to am I behind And that's always going

67
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.480
to be the case. What's going to happen is that

68
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:49.199
there's always going to be new things. So regardless, if

69
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.480
you're feeling all of that, it's okay because that's where

70
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.759
you are supposed to be. And now the key things

71
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:04.040
is it's important recognize the feelings because whether you are

72
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:09.160
bringing in AF just for yourself, or whether you're bringing

73
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.160
in AF for the organization, or you're bringing in for

74
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.120
your business, or you are helping somebody else adopt AI,

75
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.680
these are the questions to ask. And I just kind

76
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.920
of tell a story. So one of my clients was

77
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.560
leading a whole AI department in a very big, reputable company.

78
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.920
Thought his job was secure, his team was secure because

79
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.560
they were the ones who had launched it. But what

80
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.360
happened was and the reality is that they had made

81
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:49.279
it so well that they could be eliminated. So he

82
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:54.079
and his whole team was just let go. Who would

83
00:05:54.120 --> 00:06:03.040
have thought that an expert in artificial eelligence, that expert

84
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.759
who had built the whole structure for the company, he

85
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.680
and his team would be gone. So yes, they were

86
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.920
laid off and guess what, because there were new updates,

87
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.399
there were new changes. What happened was other people didn't

88
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.839
know and then started crashing. So that is just one story.

89
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.959
And some companies they are bringing an AI without looking

90
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.759
at the process. In some companies they have built it

91
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.759
to a very good extent, but have taken the humans

92
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.439
out of the equation. And that's where these are just

93
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:45.680
a couple of examples. Their problems happened an AI adoption failed.

94
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.199
I mean some parts were successful, some parts were failing.

95
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.360
And then when my client came to me and said, Tavia,

96
00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:03.040
what do I do over here? He felt so disappointed.

97
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:10.240
He felt disillusioned and just that feeling of emptiness and

98
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.319
he was saying to me, I feel like I'm looking

99
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.439
into abyss. I was so excited about it. So the

100
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:22.639
key is knowing how to deal with AI. And that's

101
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.959
where not only my disclient let's call him John, but

102
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.079
a lot of my other clients where I've helped them

103
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:34.759
work through the era of AI to make themselves future proof,

104
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:42.199
to make the A adoption, integration and governance in such

105
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:49.240
a way that it is our partner, not something that

106
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.199
can take away jobs. That's why I wrote my book

107
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:59.199
The AI Agency, and the thing is that what happens

108
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.120
is I want us to kind of look at some

109
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:07.079
of these failures that I talked about. Companies are chasing

110
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:12.000
tools instead of outcomes, that too many disconnected pilots. There's

111
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:17.160
no clear ownership and there's no definition of success. So

112
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:24.800
it's not about what AI can we used, it's not

113
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:30.439
about which tool we can use. It's important that we

114
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.919
stop talking about it over there. The key is what

115
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:41.960
problem is words solving. And even before we go into

116
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.120
what problem we are solving, it's important to talk about

117
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.200
the AI governance. And when we talk about AI governance,

118
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.080
is that what it's going to look like. Who's going

119
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.240
to own the decisions? And Yes, there's so much to

120
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.320
talk about that today. We're not going to go into

121
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.519
all that details, but these are the things to remember,

122
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:10.039
so think about it. Let's we talk about, like, Okay,

123
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.639
which is the problem I want to solve. Whether you're

124
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.559
in an individual entrepreneur, individual leader, or an organization, that's

125
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:21.519
like the first thing we talk about. So let's say

126
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.000
one of the problems is I'm just going to share

127
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.480
a story where there's this team who had to do

128
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:32.440
a lot of testing, and because they were testing the

129
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.519
same thing, a lot of Q testing is involved. It

130
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:40.720
is an iterative process, it is mechanical, and it was

131
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:45.759
taking people's motivation away. So what they did, and this

132
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.279
is just one piece of the product I'm talking about.

133
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.840
So as I was helping this team, what we did

134
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:57.240
was we took all the processes that they had and

135
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.879
out of that we narrowed down what was the most

136
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:06.840
painful process for them. And from there, the painful process

137
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.679
was where there was a lot of grind every day,

138
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.000
day to day mechanical work, where people were not being challenged,

139
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:20.440
there was no growth opportunities, no meaning, no satisfaction. And

140
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.519
then we broke it down into chunk And when you

141
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:28.000
take this process and break it down into chunks, then

142
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.320
you take a look at it. You sit down and

143
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.919
you assess how much time does it take for a

144
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:39.600
human being to do it? Where will the automation help.

145
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.480
And then the key is starting out with a small

146
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:50.679
pilot where it is a focused use case. Another important

147
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:56.240
thing to remember is having clear metrics. And when you

148
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:02.879
start out with a small use case, work through the problem,

149
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:08.720
fix one thing, and you find that the results are good,

150
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.879
then you move to the next space. And of course

151
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.320
you can do multiple things at the same time too,

152
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:19.559
but then you need to have multiple teams doing small pilots.

153
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:25.000
And the reason, the key thing is that one thing

154
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.639
that I want to introduce in this is a business

155
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:36.639
technology ethics framework. I call about the three things to

156
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:40.159
work on business. Why does it matter that we are

157
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:45.559
working on this problem? Super important? Okay, here was like

158
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.480
you know, not only it's taking going back to that process.

159
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.960
Not only it was taking them fifty hours, white matters

160
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.399
if you take a look at it, it was using

161
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.519
a lot of men power, and of course when it

162
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:02.120
uses a lot of menpower, it impacts the profitability too.

163
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.360
So that was the business size. Now we look at

164
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.600
the second piece of the framework technology, What enables it?

165
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.679
Do we need to automate, do we need to create workflows,

166
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.679
do we need to have agentic AI? What is it

167
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.840
that we want to include. So then we took that

168
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.879
part of the process and what they did was they

169
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:25.799
took only painful pieces of the process to automate it.

170
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:33.200
They built in a lot of humans in the loop. Yes,

171
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:38.240
that's exactly what I mean. Because artificial intelligence will hallucinate,

172
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:49.200
it has the confidence of the person of a person

173
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.320
who may be wrong, but things that they're good. So yes,

174
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:57.840
artificial intelligence can make mistakes, whether it's CHGPT claud if

175
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:01.200
wich isnthropic, or even if if you have open Claw,

176
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.919
or if you have a Gemini, or if you have

177
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:09.000
the cowork which has been released from Claude for doing

178
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.159
agentic work. You can have any of that and it

179
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.960
can still make mistakes. So that is the key to remember.

180
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:23.000
So ethics is what protects the data, what protects the process,

181
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.279
and what protects the people. So these are the key

182
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.399
things to remember because remember if you don't have ethics,

183
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.840
like when I'm talking about this framework business technology and ethics,

184
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:39.080
if you don't have it, the risk can be your

185
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.200
employees can get impacted. And I'm going to go back

186
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.720
to that story. So that is from Sean and Chantel.

187
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.279
I'm just going to share about these two people, you know,

188
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:56.080
Sean and Chantell other characters in my book, and one

189
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.240
time they are doing this pilot and what they're doing

190
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:07.039
is that every step wherever there's a quality assurance testing,

191
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.519
they're putting in a developers check where they're making sure

192
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:19.840
that the AI is checking upon themselves and also humans

193
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:25.360
are checking at certain levels and why human check is important.

194
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.720
So let's say if a decision comes in that is wrong,

195
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.039
which AI may have hallucinated or skipped over a step,

196
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.519
then a human being, let's say Sean had really good

197
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.840
experience in the quality insurance testing. He knows he knows

198
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.200
it in and out, and when something is wrong he

199
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.600
can put a finger on it. He'll be able to

200
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.159
identify it. And when he's able to identify it, guess

201
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.759
what's going to happen. They are going to be able

202
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.840
to fix it. Otherwise it can keep on looping and

203
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:04.120
churning out wrang outcomes and wrong results. So going back

204
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.240
to that process, what we did was they had put

205
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:12.120
in a lot of checks and they ran the pilot

206
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:18.639
for a quick twenty days, moved through a lot of failures,

207
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.039
remove a lot of kings, but at the same time

208
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:25.720
they reduced the human checks. So initially the human checks

209
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:30.919
were let's sit ten at ten checkpoints. They kept it

210
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.879
now at three pain points. But knowing that working with

211
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.759
AI is iterative, you make it and then you find

212
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.840
that where is it not doing it right? Where it

213
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.600
can do better, just like any human beings. So think

214
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.759
about it like you know, as a if you were

215
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.000
a human resource professional or a human resource leader or

216
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:57.440
a chief people officer, you are going to invest that training.

217
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.879
You are going to invest in those employees, in your

218
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.559
succession planning, in your emerging leaders. You are going to

219
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.960
allow them. You are going to give them the space

220
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:14.039
to grow, to make mistakes. So same thing. Artificial intelligence

221
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.639
is no different. So the key is like having those

222
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.080
three elements because when you bring in ethics, when you

223
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.639
bring in that governance, that Okay, how are we going

224
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:28.879
to deploy how are we going to make sure that

225
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:37.120
we keep our employees because their experience matters, the experience

226
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:42.639
that sitting in people's heart and brain, the knowledge that's

227
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:46.759
not on the web. So remember, yeah, it does not

228
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:51.879
have access to everything. And when you are bringing in ethics,

229
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.320
the risk to your employees, your top talent leaving your company,

230
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:02.480
or your customers getting unhappy, or your brand getting stigmatized

231
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.599
or your brand getting a bad name goes significantly low

232
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.839
because you've tested it, you've tried it. The key thing

233
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.160
to remember with artificial intelligence is that there will be

234
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.720
at certain points, certain segments which you have tested, where

235
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.440
you will trust it because there's still automation in the

236
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.640
whole world. Yes, developers are doing the testing and all that,

237
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.119
so it's no different than artificial intelligence doing it. So

238
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.400
when you apply the same principles what had gone in before,

239
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:40.519
you will find that interacting with artificial intelligence will be successful.

240
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.519
And that's you know, this is just one framework I'm

241
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:48.119
talking about here. I've captured so many frameworks in the

242
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.839
book and it addresses each and every area of artificial

243
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:59.119
intelligence adoption to integration to scaling it at success. So

244
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.440
another thing I'm want to talk about is thinking in

245
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:07.079
loops not lines. So so many times what happens is

246
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:12.519
most leaders are still thinking in projects. They may be thinking, oh,

247
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.759
we want to, like you know, work on this initiative,

248
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.960
we want to work on this pain point. No else,

249
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:23.359
they stop right there. The key thing is to know

250
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.599
that AI requires systems. The old thinking was okay, let's

251
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.160
go it and start, we execute and when we end no,

252
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:34.480
no no. So when I talk about in loops, the

253
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.640
key thing is to remember you have to learn how

254
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:43.240
it is learning. Because yes, a I can read, you

255
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:48.240
have to understand it's reasoning. And one of the tricks

256
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.480
to do it is if you're using thinking, let's say

257
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.240
STRATEGPT thinking, just don't give it the work and walk

258
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.440
away or go onto the next tab. Look at it.

259
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:02.839
How is it thinking? How is it talking to itself?

260
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.559
Super important for you to understand how you learn about

261
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.759
AI and how AI learns about you, and then you adapt.

262
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.000
It adapts to your instructions, You adapt to how it

263
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.519
is learning, and then once you adapted, it's important to

264
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:24.680
improve upon it. This is a cyclical and repetitive process.

265
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:28.839
It is an inerative process. And then you repeat, and

266
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:31.559
as you repeat, see how it performs. You learn again

267
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:35.480
from it, and then you keep on coming back. So

268
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:39.039
let's also touch upon the culture a little bit. What

269
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.559
is it that will make or break AI? Because those

270
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.680
days are gone where you can think that, hey AI,

271
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.160
I'll bury my head in the sand and amy go away.

272
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:56.359
It's not going to happen. We know for a fact

273
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.359
where because of AI, thousands of people have been laid off.

274
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:09.119
But that said, you can career proof, future proof your

275
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:16.680
career because this type of thinking is absent. And with AI,

276
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:21.319
critical thinking and building those skill sets, building the reflexive

277
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.519
AI and metacognition are so much more important, more important

278
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.039
than ever. And now let's say if you're launching there's

279
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.519
going to be fear of AI, which is valid not

280
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.160
only in the terms of jobs going, but not only

281
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.720
that it could make mistakes what if it does. So

282
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.519
there can be fear at different levels. But think about it.

283
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:48.519
When we used to talk about Internet that all Internet

284
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:50.599
is coming here is going to take away jobs. It

285
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:55.119
opened up so many more. So similarly over here, it's

286
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.839
important to acknowledge the fear. It's important to address the

287
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:03.240
fear and at the same time see what is possible, what.

288
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.640
Could be done, what other areas could open up, How

289
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.720
could we help people grow, How could we help them

290
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:16.000
build their thinking so that as an organization you have

291
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:20.440
the competitive edge with the experience of your top talent and.

292
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.440
Rise in the industry. So a lot of people Another

293
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:30.559
thing I want to touch upon during the culture building

294
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.319
the culture, which is when we talk about a lot

295
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.119
of companies are saying we want to be a first,

296
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:38.960
we want to be a native. So we've talked about fear,

297
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:43.640
some will be resistance. So bringing an AI in such

298
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:49.519
a way that it helps people make their lives easier.

299
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:52.680
So I'm just going to share with you. I was

300
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.839
working with a team where they used to have to

301
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:02.119
write reports like constantly and they were tired and they

302
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.400
were resistant, like, okay, what is AI going to do?

303
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:08.759
And we built a simple workflow for them, nothing fancy,

304
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:13.559
not automation, nothing like that, but a workflow of maybe

305
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:18.160
like three hundred four hundred lines which would take complex

306
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:24.759
material and spit out that report which they didn't like.

307
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.960
So this was a marketing team. They had to provide

308
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:30.759
updates or we changed this feature. We tried this new thing.

309
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.920
And not only that, what happened was when the air

310
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.759
was brought in, the resistance melted. Why did the resistance

311
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:47.400
melt because it was brought in in a way that

312
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.960
freed them to do things that they like. And a

313
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.319
lot of times people will be silent because they're afraid

314
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:58.480
that oh v that you know companies going air native

315
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:00.960
and I don't want to say anything again, but it's

316
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:05.200
important to hear the voice, their feedback, like how AI

317
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:09.519
could be brought in, because remember, your company is going

318
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.720
to be different from any other company, Your culture, your

319
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:18.359
ecosystem is completely different. So yes, AI can be general,

320
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:25.759
but the key is to customize its adaptation to your needs,

321
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.319
to your pain points. And when you do that, then

322
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:35.160
human beings are at the intersection of business and technology,

323
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:41.240
which is AI. The results and outcomes are beautiful. So

324
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:46.599
remember that a lot of times people are already coming

325
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:51.480
and using AI, just not where you can see it.

326
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.279
So create some AI labs in your company where you're

327
00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.920
aligning them for safe experimentation, giving them the ownership that hey,

328
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:03.079
you know, these are the areas where you can do

329
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:08.160
where it may not be talking to the other systems

330
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:10.160
in the company, where it is safe for them to

331
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.920
launch and they try and then they fail. So having

332
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:18.240
those AL labs can be so so important. And one

333
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.200
last thing that I want to share before we wrap

334
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:26.799
it up is the one metric rule, because remember, if

335
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:32.599
you don't have measurement, you cannot define the progress. So

336
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.440
depending on your company, depending on if you're an entrepreneur

337
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:40.680
or leader yourself, what is that one metric that defines

338
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:45.599
the success for adoption? Is a revenue? Do you want

339
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.759
to save? You know, revenue in the sense like a

340
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:52.839
lot of people, a lot of entrepreneurs, I'll share that

341
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.160
what happens is that they're spending a ton of time

342
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:00.119
doing manual work. And if you automate, I have or

343
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.799
made it almost sixty percent of my business. So if

344
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:05.640
I'm saving that time. Like you know, let's say if

345
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:10.720
I was spending fifteen hours a week on generating invoices

346
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.880
fifteen and part of that invoices, like you know, creating

347
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:19.720
the plan for the week, creating a follow up emails,

348
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:24.400
what follow ups need to be done? Where the priorities?

349
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:26.680
You know, which project is running, which project is not.

350
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.279
So that was the time taken away that I could

351
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.839
be spending with my clients. So for me, that was

352
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:39.799
time saved and revenue because if it frees up my

353
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.240
time to go spend time with clients, that those are

354
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.119
the buildable hours. So it's important for you to think

355
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:52.480
through where is that measurement that's giving you the definition

356
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.519
of your success? Is it cost reduction? Is it customer experience?

357
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:01.599
Because remember, if you cannot measure sure the success, don't

358
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:06.079
build the AI, don't do it super super important. So

359
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.319
these are just few of the topics that I have

360
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.799
