The biggest AI deals in the world aren't happening because someone found the perfect tool.
They're happening because someone defined the specific problem first.
NEC — one of Japan's largest tech companies — just partnered with Anthropic to build AI solutions for Japanese enterprises. Worth noting what they didn't do: they didn't buy a generic AI subscription and hope employees figured it out.
They started with a clear business problem. Then found the right partner to solve it.
That's the opposite of how most business owners get sold AI. You get shown a flashy demo, sign up, and six months later you're paying $200/month for something nobody on your team touches. That's not your fault. That's a sales process designed to skip the problem-definition step entirely.
Here's the one thing you can do this week without touching your current systems: write down the single most repetitive task your team does that produces zero new value. Just one. That's your AI starting point — not a platform, not a strategy, not a consultant's roadmap.
One problem. One solution. Proof it works. Then build from there.
What's the AI tool you bought that's collecting digital dust right now — and what were you promised it would do?
