When your team isn't sure about AI

Where your team is right now decides the first step. Here is one for each situation.

Nobody uses it yet

First stepTeam and AI

Start with one task and one tool

When nobody uses AI yet, a broad workshop doesn't stick. Pick one real task, show the team how it works on your own material, and stop there.

Try this week

Ask everyone to name one task they dread. Pick the most common answer.

When this isn't the first purchase

If only one or two people will use it, an hour together on that one task may do more than a workshop.

What affects the cost

Quoted after a free 15-minute call, based on your team's size and the work the training covers.

A few people use free tools

First stepTeam and AI

Set a simple AI policy before it spreads

Free tools in a few hands usually means business information is going places nobody approved. A one-page policy fixes that before any training.

Try this week

Ask each person what they've already pasted into a free AI tool. Better to know now.

When this isn't the first purchase

If it really is just a few people, a written policy and an hour together may do more than a workshop.

What affects the cost

Quoted after a free 15-minute call, based on your team's size and the work the training covers. The written policy can be part of it.

We pay for tools nobody uses well

First stepTeam and AI

Train on the tools you already pay for

The cheapest improvement is getting value from subscriptions you already have, with your own tasks as the practice material.

Try this week

List the AI tools you pay for and who has a seat. Note any seat nobody opened last month.

When this isn't the first purchase

If some seats sat unopened last month, review them before paying for any training. One quiet month isn't enough to go on, so ask who needs each seat, then reassign or cancel the unused ones.

Worried about what gets pasted in

First stepTeam and AI

Write down what's safe to share, and where

Worry about data is the right instinct. A written policy naming approved tools and off-limits information comes before anything else.

Try this week

Check whether the tools you pay for train on your data. The setting is usually on the admin or privacy page.

From the Lab

It's Not Ignorance. It's Experience.

Why people distrust AI tools, and what a measured, human-reviewed pilot looks like instead.
