Universities are doing something smart with AI that most businesses aren't.
They're not buying software first. They're having structured conversations about what problems actually need solving — before a dollar gets spent.
You've probably experienced the opposite. A tool gets purchased, it sits unused, and $200/month quietly drains away while nobody talks about why it failed. That's not a you problem. That's a process problem.
Colorado State's AI symposium this August is built around peer-led discussions and faculty-driven insights — not vendor pitches. Real practitioners sharing what worked and what didn't. That model works because the people in the room have actual skin in the game.
Here's the transfer to your business: before your next AI decision, run a 30-minute team conversation with one question on the table — "What task do we repeat every week that nobody enjoys?" The answer almost always points directly to where AI delivers fast, measurable ROI without touching what's already working.
One conversation. One problem. One solution. That's how the first AI win happens.
No consultants required. No overhaul. No learning curve that eats your quarter.
What's the one repeated task in your business that feels like a waste of time every single week?
