READ BEFORE YOU BUY
From Chapter 2: Where the Real Business Value Hides
That sounds obvious. In practice, most leaders either implement AI where the vendor's case study points them, or they get caught up trying to automate the most visible process instead of the most painful one. Both approaches leave real gains on the table.
Before choosing a single tool, you need to know where the highest-value problems actually live in your specific business.
Most businesses have a vague list somewhere of things that slow them down: customer service takes too long, too much time goes on admin, reporting is a nightmare.
