Your competitors aren't hiring AI experts. They're hiring leaders who know how to use AI.
That's a completely different problem than the one most gurus are selling you.
You bought the tool. Maybe hired the consultant. Neither one stuck. That's not a you problem — that's a delivery problem. The AI industry has been selling software when what you actually needed was a use case that fits how your team already works.
Here's what executive search firms in Boston are now seeing: companies don't want someone who can code AI. They want leaders with a clear vision for where AI fits in the business. That's it. Vision, not technical skill.
Which means the competitive advantage isn't the tool. It's knowing which problem to point it at first.
You don't need to rebuild anything. Start by listing the three tasks your team repeats most every week. That list is your AI roadmap. One of those tasks almost certainly has a simple, low-cost solution that could free up 3-5 hours a week within 30 days.
That's your first win. Not a transformation. A proof point.
What's one repeatable task in your business you'd love to get off your team's plate?
