The most valuable business skill in 2024: Strategic Automation.
Master it and you’ll dramatically cut operational costs. These 3 steps will get you started:

Automate tasks
Automation helps us reduce toil so we can focus on what matters. Innovation and connection.
It’s difficult to know which tasks to automated first. Take a structured approach for efficient automation.
1. Find the tasks you or your team are spending the most time on.
2. Label them as value add, high frequency, and difficulty.
3. Tasks that fall in the “high frequency” category are prime for automation. Start here.
4. Difficult tasks should be augmented with the AI tools that are just now entering the market.
5. Tasks that add business value should be focused on by the team and given full attention.
Optimize schedules
We’ve all seen businesses reach massive success the moment they prioritize values over just work. Growth for business and individuals comes when we focus on what really matters. Family and time off.
AI gives us the opportunity to optimize our schedules. Giving us more time. More opportunity. Let’s be careful to avoid mistakes of the past.
The internet and mobile devices promised efficiency and more time for our passions. Yet we are busyer than ever. Let’s not repeat the same mistake with AI.
Enhance communication
Communication is one of the most difficult components of any business or team environment. With its constantly evolving contexts.
Take time to think about if artificial intelligence is actually needing to improve communication. You might actually be making things worse. Could you solve the problem with a more human centric approach?
If AI is the right approach then it can be used to bridge the gaps between parties. Miscommunication will be eliminated as the speaker’s message can be translated into phrasing that the listener can understand best.
