Columbia University just launched AI literacy training for their administrators. Not for engineers. Not for developers. For regular people who run things.

That tells you something important.

You're not behind because you're not technical. You're behind because nobody taught you the basics in plain language — and every consultant you hired assumed you already knew them.

That $200/month tool collecting dust? It wasn't a bad purchase decision. It was a missing foundation. Prompt engineering, workflow fit, security basics — nobody walked your team through any of it. They just handed you a login and disappeared.

Here's what Columbia figured out: AI literacy isn't about tools. It's about three things — knowing how to ask AI the right question, knowing where it fits your existing workflow, and knowing what to protect. That's it. That's the whole foundation.

One practical step you can take this week: pick one repetitive task your team complains about. Write down exactly what they do, step by step. That document becomes your AI brief — and it will tell you which tool actually solves that specific problem.

No coding. No system overhaul. Just clarity first.

What's the one task in your business that eats the most time for the least reward?
