Your employees are already using AI at work — with or without your permission. And that's actually your fastest path to a real win.
Akamai just paid $205 million to secure how employees use AI tools inside company browsers. That's not a tech story. That's a signal that unsupervised AI use inside businesses is now a big enough problem that serious companies are spending serious money on it.
Here's what that means for you: the AI adoption battle isn't happening at the executive level. It's happening in your team's browser tabs, right now, today.
The tool nobody uses isn't the problem. The tools everyone is quietly using — without a process — that's where your opportunity is hiding.
One practical move this week: ask your team what AI tools they're already using on their own. No judgment, just curiosity. You'll likely discover two or three tools already in play. Pick the one with the most traction and build one repeatable process around it. That's your first win — and it costs nothing.
You don't need a new tool. You need visibility into what's already working inside your own business.
What AI tools is your team using that you didn't officially roll out — and did any of them actually stick?
