Ep 4 AI-powered productivity for SME’s 🎙 In the latest episode of Less Than 15, just published today, we talk with Futurist and AI Researcher Gihan Perera about the significant benefits of integrating AI tools into our businesses to boost productivity and enhance the experiences of our customers and clients. Here’s just a snippet of the takeaways: ➡️ AI can lead to substantial productivity gains and improved client relationships, as seen in the example of a daycare centre reducing the time to create development plans from 3 hours to just 15 minutes ➡️ With AI handling repetitive tasks, you can update key processes more often, leading to greater efficiency and relevance ➡️ Identifying AI champions within your business and involving the IT team can help facilitate a successful AI journey, making it a collaborative effort rather than solely relying on you to lead the charge. Gihan has also provided a comprehensive resource for getting started on projects using AI that you can download from our website Podcast page.
