3 Key Takeaways:
1. Start With Foundations, Not Tech:
Before launching into AI, ensure your processes and data systems are solid. AI’s true value comes after you’ve mapped your workflows and organized your knowledge—otherwise, you’re building on sand.
2. Prioritize Quick Wins for Buy-In:
Don’t overhaul everything at once! Identify low-hanging-fruit use cases (like automating follow-ups or capturing “tribal knowledge” from senior staff) that show value fast and build momentum inside the organization.
3. Testing and Compliance Matter:
It’s not enough to simply launch an AI system—regular testing for accuracy, compliance, and user experience is crucial. Sebastian’s new venture specializes in AI/agent testing to ensure solutions aren’t just fast and cheap, but truly better.
