Most business owners think AI adoption is a technology problem.
It's not. It's a people problem.
You bought the tool. Your team didn't use it. That's not because your team is resistant — it's because nobody changed how the work actually happens around the tool. Sound familiar?
Microsoft's design team just published something worth paying attention to. After three years of integrating generative AI into their own workflows, their conclusion was this: the teams that succeeded didn't start with the biggest tools. They started by identifying the specific moments where their people were losing time or confidence — then tested AI against exactly those moments.
That's the opposite of what most consultants sell you. They lead with the platform. The smart move is to lead with the friction point.
Here's what you can do this week: Walk your team through one recurring task that frustrates everyone. Just one. Ask where the bottleneck is. That single answer tells you more about which AI tool belongs in your business than any vendor demo ever will.
No ripping out systems. No retraining your whole team. Just one conversation that points you toward your first real win.
What's the one task in your business that eats time every single week — and has never gotten easier?
