Our practical AI for business guide.
Six steps every organisation should take to accelerate adoption.
Assign an AI leader
Objective: Designate an employee or independent contractor like AI New Zealand, to lead the organisation's AI roadmap and adoption program.
They will be your AI topic expert, sharing practical advice and useful applications.
Facilitate education, like our Lunch & Learn sessions. So everyone has a base level understanding.
Develop the AI Roadmap, so there’s a clear, collaborative pathway to adoption.
Understand your risks
Objective: Develop and implement policies and governance protocols to help employees make informed decisions on AI use at work.
Identify data, security, privacy and operational risks.
Develop clear guidelines and policies for AI use, including data and privacy protocols.
Establish an AI committee to ensure responsible AI use and compliance across all teams.
Establish practical guidelines
Objective: Share how the organisation will use AI, manage data, and ensure privacy in line with partners, suppliers, customers, and regulatory expectations.
Develop a principles-based AI policy that outlines the organisation's commitment to AI use.
Publish the policy and make it accessible to all stakeholders, including employees, partners, suppliers, and customers.
Identify practical use cases
Objective: Identify the practical ways the organisation could use AI to accelerate productivity and innovation.
Run team focused workshops to identify practical use cases.
Explore AI tools and technologies that can automate or augment tasks, improve decision-making, and enhance customer experiences.
Develop a roadmap for AI implementation, prioritising use cases by quick wins, impact, and complexity.
Provide skills-based training

Run practical AI skills based training aligned to the use cases and tools you have chosen.
Refine processes and optimise data to streamline the new AI-powered workflows.
Power-up fast adopters with more advanced capability and AI Agents to automate more complex tasks.
Innovate at the pace of trust

Develop strategies to build trust in AI, to reduce anxiety or fears.
Showcase the impact on business performance & job satisfaction.
Engage stakeholders to ensure AI initiatives align with broader industry or supply chain workflows.
Boosting business productivity.
Make knowledge instantly accessible.
Just like ChatGPT or Perplexity makes public knowledge instantly accessible. You can make a chatbot to answer questions about your products, services or specific expertise.
Accelerate document creation.
Whether you’re responding to emails, producing reports, resource consents, or sales proposals. AI tools can boost your productivity by suggesting and curating content from the internet or your business knowledge.
Integrate to enhance workflows.
With enterprise grade AI platforms businesses can connect disparate data sources. Creating a company brain to augment workflows and create smart AI assistants that automate previously manual tasks.
Consider these recommendations.
Bring the AI to you.
With free, consumer grade tools like ChatGPT you’re sending your knowledge and documents to external AI systems.
It’s vital to deploy enterprise AI tools to provide a safe space for employees to leverage company data with LLMs, while retaining the knowledge and privacy within your tenancy.
Start small, think big.
Quick wins are as important as thinking about your long term AI roadmap. To build confidence and momentum find the practical applications for AI you can deploy fast.
Avoid AI overload.
Every day there are 100’s of new AI tools launched. Today there’s an AI for almost everything and it quickly becomes daunting, confusing.
