The Impact of AI on Business
In the Artificial Intelligence (AI) age, where new tools and technologies emerge daily, business owners often ask how they should adapt to remain competitive or even become more competitive in this rapidly changing landscape.
Your mind, rich with unique knowledge, becomes a true goldmine. This goldmine is your competitive edge, enabling you to stand out in this increasingly AI-driven era.
Your Unique Knowledge is Priceless
The surge of data and knowledge in the public domain is accessible to everyone, making your unique knowledge – the result of years of experience in your field – all the more precious. Especially in knowledge-driven industries like software development, robotics, staffing, … (the list goes on), unique knowledge often resides at the interface of different disciplines.
This knowledge is unique, valuable, and, most importantly, yours.
If you’re unsure about the uniqueness of your knowledge, remember that your mind is a goldmine waiting to be discovered. This is where a fresh perspective can be invaluable. If you’re wondering about the uniqueness of your knowledge, I invite you to talk to me. It often takes an outside observer to spot and recognize the gold hidden in your mind.
Extracting the Gold
Once you realize the value of your knowledge, the next step is extracting it and transforming it into a teachable process.
However, the tricky part is that we often overlook some steps because we do them automatically. These steps are part of our unconscious knowledge, which I call our “brilliance,” i.e., hidden expertise, experience, knowledge, and even wisdom.
One approach to capture this brilliance for a given process is to record the process, either in writing or via video. Then transform the transcript into a step-by-step guide.
But this doesn’t ensure completeness – not yet. You need to put your documented process to the test and see if any steps are missing. It’s like forgetting to add yeast in the breadmaking process – these missing steps make or break the success of the process.
Leveraging AI Effectively
After you extract and validate the knowledge from your brain, you can also use it more effectively with AI. As of late, there are “AI employees” who claim they can perform up to 70% of typical office work. These AI tools, however, need formal workflows.
Therefore, the gold in your brain, in the form of unique knowledge, must be transformed into formal workflows that either a person or an AI tool can follow.
Summary
- Your brain is a goldmine, holding unique and invaluable knowledge. Realizing this is the first step.
- Extracting, refining, and testing this knowledge is the next.
- Once complete, you can use it to increase your operations’ efficiency through workflows both humans and A.I. can use.
