Your team isn't using that AI tool you bought. And honestly? That's not a people problem.

It's a fit problem.

Thomson Reuters just published research on what accounting firms actually fear about AI — and it wasn't robots taking jobs. It was buying the wrong thing, for the wrong process, with no clear owner responsible for making it work.

Sound familiar?

The firms seeing real results didn't overhaul everything. They picked one repetitive, time-consuming task that already had a clear process. Then they found a tool built specifically for that task. Not the most impressive demo. The most boring, reliable fit.

That's the difference between shelfware and ROI.

Here's your one move this week: Write down the three tasks your team complains about most. Repetitive, rule-based, time-consuming. That list is your AI roadmap. Start with number one. Nothing else.

You don't need to understand the technology. You need to understand your own bottlenecks. That part, you already do.

What's the task you'd eliminate first if you knew the tool would actually work?
