AI is already everywhere. The business case isn’t.
What comes after the pilot
“Change is slow… until it isn’t.”
— Roger Spitz, Disruptive Futures Institute
A lot has changed in knowledge worker behavior in just a few short months. While even up until a few weeks ago, it seemed “early adopters” were the ones using AI daily, the reality is, today you would be hard pressed to find any professional who isn’t either privately or publicly deploying AI in their day-to-day. Whether they are doing so proudly and publicly, or sheepishly and secretively, is primarily a function of the organization’s policies and incentive structures.
And while some may be re-tweeting AI doomerism or participating in job-loss fearmongering based in fiction, fable, or reality, you’d be hard pressed to be able to pry their Claude Coworker out of their cold, hard, hands.
They know the productivity and even creativity boosts they are experiencing. In a recent briefing I participated in with executives, over half by a show of hands are relying on their LLM for at least low-level encouragement if not out and out coaching and therapy.
Many teams are running pilots, running “best practice sharing” lunch ’n learns, departmental hack-a-thons, and some are even actually deploying the learnings from these enterprise-wide.
From gut feel to grounded
While some may have instincts on the personal impact on time, productivity, and even fun and delight of their day-to-day, what they are not, however, doing yet is quantitatively predicting the impact on any of these efforts on the organization.
How can teams and leaders grasp the full value of AI to the top and bottom line? How can they model with confidence the business case, and roadmap the path to ROI? And how can they co-create this with the teams who actually understand what the work truly looks like?
That’s the distance between running pilots and running the business, and it’s where most teams stall.
Bot0.ai helps your teams move beyond hypothesis, anecdotes, and wet finger in the air to model real, topline-oriented scenarios starting with strategic goals and growth targets backward. So you can understand what the future looks like, and the best path there.
