College students just out-strategized most seasoned business owners on AI. And they did it without a single vendor pitch.
At the University of Iowa's IdeaStorm competition, students pitched AI-powered business concepts that were refreshingly simple — solving one specific problem, for one specific customer, with one specific tool.
No six-month implementations. No ripping apart existing systems. Just a clear problem and a focused solution.
That's what most AI consultants skip. They show up with a platform, not a problem. So you end up with software your team resents and a monthly charge you can't justify.
The students got something right that's easy to forget when you're buried in hype: AI works when it's built around a workflow that already exists, not one someone invented to sell you something.
Here's what you can do this week: Write down the one task in your business that eats the most time but requires the least judgment. That's your first AI target. One problem. One tool. Thirty days to prove it works or move on.
No big bets. No learning to code. Just a focused experiment with a clear finish line.
What's the one AI tool you've already paid for that your team quietly stopped using?
