AI Purchases Without Strategy Create Waste
- Firms are rushing to buy AI tools without a strategy and create unintended inefficiencies.
- True value comes from aligning AI to workflows, not just adding standalone tools.
Match Tools To Specific Tasks
- Map existing tasks (e.g., mail routing) to identify which tools fit like wrench versus screwdriver.
- Start by matching tool capabilities to specific workflow tasks before buying technology.
