You don't need a $50K AI overhaul. You need to watch how Wimbledon does it.

Most business owners I talk to have a ghost subscription sitting in their software stack — an AI tool bought on a pitch deck promise that nobody on the team ever opened. That's not a you problem. That's a rollout problem.

IBM has been partnering with Wimbledon since 1990. They didn't flip a switch and transform overnight. They added AI where it solved a specific, visible problem — fan experience, content delivery, real-time match insights. One use case at a time, over decades.

That's the lesson most AI consultants skip. The question isn't "how do we become an AI company?" It's "what is one thing we do every week that takes too long, bores our best people, or produces inconsistent results?"

Answer that honestly, and you've just identified your first AI use case.

Pick the single most repetitive task your team complains about. That's your 30-day pilot. Not a transformation. Just a test with a clear before-and-after you can actually measure.

Small proof beats big promises every time.

What's the one task in your business that screams "there has to be a better way" — and have you tried using AI on it yet?
