Find Your Best AI Opportunities: Assess, Prioritise and Take Action
A practical guide to spotting where AI can save time, reduce costs and improve the way your business works.
AI can help with more than drafting messages, but deciding where to use it can feel like guesswork. This course gives you a practical way to examine the work you already do, identify frustrating or repetitive tasks, and decide which improvements deserve your attention. You will begin with the problems that matter to you, not a list of fashionable tools. You will map everyday workflows, ask better discovery questions, use AI to suggest options, and estimate benefits without treating guesses as facts. You will learn how to compare opportunities, test a small example safely, and plan what to implement, measure and review. The examples work whether you are a sole trader, coach, consultant or owner of a small team. By the end, you will have a completed workbook, a prioritised AI opportunity map, an initial test plan and a reusable brief to guide future conversations. The approach works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI tool.
