Even Canva — one of the world's most beloved design tools — is struggling to get its own team to embrace its AI pivot.
That should tell you something.
If you've paid for an AI tool your team quietly ignores, you're not alone and you're not behind. You're just human. The tools often get sold before they're ready to be used.
Here's the real insight from Canva's story: even well-resourced tech companies are discovering that adoption is the hard part — not the technology itself. Flashy features mean nothing if the workflow doesn't change. A certificate and some confetti won't fix that.
This matters for your business because the problem was never which tool you picked. It was that nobody mapped the tool to a specific daily task your team already hates doing.
One thing you can do this week: pick your team's single most repetitive, low-skill task. Just one. Then ask whether an AI tool could handle 80% of it. Don't buy anything yet — just answer that question first.
That single answer is worth more than any consultant's proposal.
What's the one task in your business that eats time but adds almost no real value — the one you keep meaning to fix?
