A local school board just figured out something most businesses are still missing.
They didn't buy software first. They built literacy first — teaching people what AI actually is before asking them to use it.
Sound familiar? You bought the tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.
That's not a people problem. That's a sequencing problem. The tool came before the understanding, and the understanding never came at all.
Here's what the school board got right: they separated "knowing what AI can do" from "knowing which tool to buy." Those are two different conversations. Most vendors collapse them into one sales pitch — and that's exactly why you end up with shelfware.
You don't need a six-figure implementation. You need one person on your team who understands one AI capability well enough to apply it to one real problem you already have.
Start there. Pick your most repetitive, time-draining task. Ask: what would it look like if this took half the time? That question — not a vendor demo — is the right starting point.
When you got your first AI tool, did anyone actually explain how it fit your workflow — or did you just get a login and a tutorial link?
