How to Get Started with AI as a Business

Published February 20, 2026

Most companies struggle with AI adoption for one reason: they start with tools instead of workflows. A better path is to identify where teams repeat decisions, create repetitive documents, or spend time searching for answers.

Step 1: Pick Two Practical Use Cases

Start in departments with measurable output such as operations, customer support, or sales. Choose one low-risk and one medium-impact use case.

Step 2: Define Guardrails

Create simple rules for approved tools, data usage, output review, and documentation. This prevents ad-hoc use and reduces risk quickly.

Step 3: Train by Role

Executives need strategic understanding. Managers need workflow design. Team members need prompt and review practices tied to their actual tasks.

Step 4: Measure and Scale

Track time saved, quality consistency, and throughput. Use results to prioritize additional use cases and expand with confidence.
