How to Successfully Apply AI to Your Business
AI is transforming industries and redefining how businesses operate. But adopting AI isn’t just about using new tools—it’s about using them strategically. On this episode of the 4M Strategies™ podcast, Carl J. Cox, CEO of 40 Strategy and 40 Accounting, and Trent Gillespie, CEO of Stellis AI, share a practical guide to implementing AI for growth, productivity, and security.
Why AI Matters for Businesses of Any Size
Trent highlights how AI is no longer reserved for large corporations. With tools like ChatGPT Teams, even small businesses can access the benefits of AI. These tools can enhance productivity by 30% or more while providing secure, scalable solutions.
Key Steps for Implementing AI
Trent breaks down three essential steps for using AI in your business:
- Educate Your Leadership Team
AI is a game changer, but your team needs to understand its potential. Invest in training and research to help leaders grasp how AI can transform your industry. - Create Clear AI Policies
AI adoption comes with risks, especially if employees use tools without guidance. Develop policies that protect customer and company data while encouraging safe and effective AI use. - Adopt the Right Tools
Trent recommends ChatGPT Teams as an affordable, secure option for businesses. At $30 per user per month, it offers robust capabilities while safeguarding sensitive information.
Overcoming AI Adoption Challenges
Adopting AI can feel overwhelming, especially for teams unfamiliar with the technology. Trent emphasizes the importance of leadership support in reducing fear and encouraging employees to embrace AI as a tool for growth—not job elimination.
By fostering a culture of innovation and providing training, businesses can unlock AI’s potential to drive growth and improve efficiency.
