1. Identify (BOOTS ON THE GROUND) Identify unmet needs within your business. This may include inefficient processes, unoptimized workflows, or data-intensive tasks. Use surveys, interviews, and direct observation to find these pain points from customers, employees, and stakeholders.
2. Affinitize and Prioritize Group identified problems into related categories, such as “workflow automation,” “data analysis,” “customer service,” etc. This process is known as affinitization.

<aside> 💡 Next, prioritize these categories:

<aside> 💡 •Consider whether existing non-AI tools like Zapier can address the identified needs. If a solution is possible without AI, you may choose to implement these non-AI solutions. This will help you focus on areas where AI can truly make a difference. •Also, consider the impact of the problem on your business and the feasibility of an AI solution.

1. Ideation Now that you have identified and prioritized the areas where AI can help, it’s time to brainstorm potential AI solutions:

   • Define specific problems that AI technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, or computer vision can solve.
   • Facilitate an ideation session with the team to brainstorm AI-based solutions.
   • Narrow down to the ideas with the most potential impact and feasibility.

2. Implementation After identifying the potential AI solutions, it’s time to bring them to life:

   • Decide whether to build in-house, use AI-as-a-Service platforms, or collaborate with AI solution providers.
   • Prepare your data: Clean, categorize, and label your data accurately for effective AI model training.
   • Train your AI model, test the solution, and optimize based on test results.

3. Iteration AI implementation is not a one-off process. It requires continuous refinement:

   • Monitor the performance of the AI solution continuously.
   • Collect feedback from users and stakeholders.
   • Make necessary adjustments, retrain the model, and deploy the updated solution.

4. Integration After iterating and optimizing the AI solution, integrate it into your business process:

   • Make sure the solution is well-integrated into the workflow.
   • Provide training to employees on how to use the new AI solution.
   • Supervise a transition period for users to get accustomed to the new system.

5. Scale Once the AI solution is successfully integrated:

   • Identify other areas of your business where this solution or a modified version could be used.
   • Repeat the steps to implement AI solutions in these other areas.
   • Continuously monitor and optimize your AI systems as they scale.
