Spill the tea - we want to hear from you!
Chris Daigle, founder and CEO of Chief AI Officer, helps executive teams deploy real-world AI strategies that drive business results through his flagship Executive AI Immersion program, designed specifically for mid-market companies.
• AI adoption is fundamentally different from previous tech waves because it's accessible to anyone regardless of technical background
• Older generations may actually have an advantage in using AI due to their business experience and ability to provide better context
• Companies that delay AI adoption create an exponential disadvantage as early adopters gain market share and embed AI in their culture
• The Stanford/Harvard/BCG study found AI-enabled workers produced 12% more, 25% faster, and with 40% higher quality
• The traditional "good, fast, cheap - pick two" paradigm no longer applies with AI-enhanced knowledge work
• Leadership teams should get the same AI training to ensure alignment before implementation
• AI governance should include clear use policies with employee training and acknowledgment
• IT departments should handle analytical AI (data science) while operational teams implement generative AI in business processes
• AI implementation is "boring" - it's about systematically improving thousands of small business processes
• Executives should develop the reflex of asking "Can I use AI for this?" for every business challenge
Start using AI today by simply asking it how it can help with your specific role or challenge - the more you practice, the more effective you'll become.
