AI efforts at U of L: Breaking down “Cardinal Intelligence”

Everyone told you to just "start with AI." Nobody told you where to land. You're not alone if you bought a tool your team quietly stopped opening. That's not a you problem — that's a missing strategy

Everyone told you to just "start with AI." Nobody told you where to land.

You're not alone if you bought a tool your team quietly stopped opening. That's not a you problem — that's a missing strategy problem. Smart people make that mistake every day because the rollout never matched the real workflow.

Here's what's interesting about how the University of Louisville approached AI. They stopped treating it as an isolated experiment and made it a coordinated, university-wide effort. One body. One direction. Connected departments instead of disconnected pilots.

That's the lesson most businesses skip. They buy a tool for one person, in one corner of the company, with no plan to connect it to anything else. It dies alone.

The businesses winning with AI right now didn't start bigger — they started more intentionally. One problem. One process. One measurable outcome. Then they built from there.

This week, pick the single most repetitive task your team complains about. Not your biggest problem — your most annoying small one. That's your first AI candidate. Test it there first, measure the time saved in 30 days, then decide your next move.

What's the one task eating your team's time that you wish you could hand off tomorrow?
