Many small and medium-sized businesses are exploring artificial intelligence. A meaningful first step, however, does not begin with a particular tool. It begins with a clearly defined business workflow.
Where can AI provide real value?
Businesses often begin by discussing individual AI products and platforms. In our view, the more important question is which specific workflow should be improved.
Before introducing AI, several questions should be addressed:
- Which workflow regularly requires a significant amount of time?
- Where can artificial intelligence provide useful support?
- Which data will be processed?
- Who will review the results?
- Which concrete and measurable benefit should be achieved?
AI is not an end in itself. It should reduce repetitive work and give employees more time for tasks that require experience, professional knowledge and human judgement.
Potential use cases
Suitable first applications may include:
- preparing and summarising documents and information
- creating drafts for recurring texts and responses
- making internal knowledge easier to find
- structuring and categorising incoming enquiries
- simplifying administrative workflows
- supporting employees with repetitive tasks
Controlled and responsible implementation
Confidentiality, data protection, access permissions and human oversight must be considered from the beginning—particularly for law firms, consultancies and other organisations working with sensitive information.
