We kicked off our mini-series How to Evaluate an AI Solution for Your Business with “Don’t Buy AI, Solve a Problem,” highlighting the biggest mistake companies make buying AI tools before identifying the real problem. This session introduced the problem-first approach and our Quick Win Finder, a simple framework where High Impact + High Readiness = Your Quick Win. Impact asks why the problem matters—does solving it create measurable value like cost savings, better customer experience, or time recovered? Readiness asks how feasible it is—do you have the data and processes to make it work? We also reframed the question from “How can we use AI?” to “What’s our most repetitive and frustrating process?” The golden rule: always start with a real pain point—technology comes second. Your turn: list your top time-consuming tasks and find which one lands in the High Impact, High Readiness quadrant—that’s your quick win. Stay tuned for our next session on Buying vs. Building.
