AI Readiness: Are You Dropping the Ball?

Watching CEOs talk about AI is fascinating.

They love discussing it at fancy conferences, but ask them about their actual implementation plan?

*awkward silence*

If your response to AI is, “we’re exploring options,” know that your competitors are already using it to:

- Cut decision-making time in half
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Analyze customer data in real-time
- Predict market trends before they happen

The gap between AI talkers and AI doers grows bigger every day.

One thing is clear: You do not want to be the last player into this game!

If you’re ready to bring AI into your business, join us for a monthly call with our AI expert.

Noon PST / 3:00 PM EST

The AI Readiness Checklist for CEOs

Being “ready for AI” isn’t about having a ChatGPT subscription.

It’s about leadership. 

Here’s what CEOs need to focus on:

1. AI-Literate Leadership Teams 

   If your senior team doesn’t understand how AI impacts your industry, get them up to speed. AI is redefining supply chains, sales forecasting, marketing, hiring, and customer service. Get your leadership team educated now.

2. Process Automation, Not Just Tools 

   AI is only useful if it makes your company faster, smarter, and more profitable. Where are the biggest inefficiencies in your business? Automate them now. Test, iterate, and scale.

3. A Bias for Action 

   AI is evolving too fast for endless strategy decks. Experiment aggressively. Identify small, high-impact AI pilots in marketing, operations, or customer engagement. Measure results, adjust, and expand.

4. Culture of Adaptability

   AI won’t replace your team, but your competitors who use AI will. Are your people adapting, or resisting? Build a culture where AI is seen as a force multiplier, not a threat.

5. Know your specific problem to solve!

   The biggest mistake in AI integration is solving the wrong problem. Do you want to take care of a service provider and a customer? That equals TWO problems, not one. Solve them individually.

The Best CEOs Are Making Moves, Not Making Excuses

All the dot-com giants started as scrappy, uncertain bets.

I remember fighting through Amazon’s clunky website in ’98 just to buy a book.

Hardly the sleek empire it is today.

The winners weren’t the ones with flawless plans.

They were the ones who took bold swings, screwed up, and refused to quit.

The new era is here, and it’s AI.
