In conversations, I hear many managers and business owners struggle to realise the benefits of using AI tools. I also wrote a blog post on this recently.

An idea hit me: What would I want to know about AI if I knew almost nothing? How could I even get started quickly for immediate results?

Frustrated about my wasted time trying out AI tools, I automatically labeled many other AI tools as “early stage” and “unuseful.” And to be honest, many of them still are. They are fun to play around with, sure. But which are good “today”? Beyond well-prompted ChatGPT prompts?

A few short weeks ago, I had a massive grin on my face during a meeting. I was smiling because I discovered that hundreds of users are now using my first lead project from 2015, the selection and implementation of a project management tool called Asana. It has even generated case studies that Asana presents as "successful examples". This made me ponder: how quickly does the "new" become the "old"?

To maintain an edge in the ever-evolving AI landscape, it's crucial to strategically embrace AI adoption. My latest blog delves into where this might first be seen. Read on to explore.

We already discussed in a different article that you need to trial and error your options. This can mean encouraging you or your staff to use the new tools (though warn them about its ethics and security implications).

Exploring can also help you lose your fear of something. Psychologists refer to a method specifically designed to help people confront their fear as “Exposure Therapy”. The gist? Once you confront your “fear”, you lose it.

The rise of AI writing tools and plugins such as Flowrite or Quickmail makes it easier to cut down on the flood of ever-increasing emails finding their way into our inboxes. Finally, we can spend less time on emails and more on the things we love.

But should we?

Not only did I eat twice at McDonald’s today, I even ordered yet another menu item for dinner at Hungry Jacks (the Australian version of Burger King) for dinner. And no, I am not feeling well at the moment (aside from a slight feeling of shame).

But it got me thinking: Why did I end up eating all my three daily meal times at these sub-healthy establishments today? How the heck did I end up here? How did the businesses make me buy from them three times?

Will managers be replaced by AI?

The short answer? No. But the management role itself will dramatically change.

ChatGPT continues to awestruck the masses. Read on to discover three examples of how you can use the tool, particularly as a mid-size company right now, right here.
