How a small business owner got a team that never asked for AI to actually use it
Original title: How do you get a team that didn’t ask for AI to actually use it? Here’s what changed things for mine.
The author, who runs a small business with about ten licensed people, says demos failed and what worked was rewriting existing job descriptions to spell out which repetitive tasks will go away and what the freed-up time should be spent on. He is now separating skill problems from will problems, building a self-assessment filled out separately by each person and their manager followed by a 90-day plan, and notes that AI tools default to assuming job descriptions are written to hire replacements.
The author shares a concrete way to get an unwilling team to adopt AI, centered on rewriting existing job descriptions and separating skill gaps from will gaps.
