Why Your People Matter More Than Your AI Strategy
AI is everywhere! It was a topic of conversation at FILEX this year. But here’s the stat that stopped me: only 35% of CEOs believe their teams are ready for AI, according to Inc. Magazine.
And the real insight?
The companies thriving in this AI era are going people first, tech second. They’re investing in upskilling, building cultures where it’s safe to experiment and fail, and focusing on trust and connection, not just the next shiny tool.
Your success isn’t about the software. It’s about the culture your team builds around it.
So here’s your Thirsty Thursday challenge: ask your team how they see AI helping their role. That single conversation might spark ideas you never expected.
Tech will keep changing at a speed difficult to keep up with. Your people will consistently be the key to sustainable growth.
