💡 Today's Key Insight:
Two agencies hired us in the last two weeks, not to build AI operations, but to get their teams to use the ones they already have. Adoption, not technology, is the constraint now.
We've been hired by two agencies in the last two weeks to get their teams to use their AI operations.
Not build it.
Use it.
In a total plot twist, humans are resisting change (shocker).
Should have seen this one coming.
If this is you, there are three ways to get your team to adopt.
1. Scorched Earth
Back in 2025, when AI culture rolled out to the masses, a lot of the top agencies went scorched earth.
AI or die.
You either adopt these systems or you go get another job.
This isn't an exaggeration.
It's the simplest and most painful way to change a company culture. It works because it removes the option of not changing.
If you have 100+ team members, though, it causes a LOT of friction and a lot of stress on HR to backfill the roles you lose along the way.
Fast, brutal, effective. Not for everyone.
2. Consultants (Shout out 8F)
I expect we'll be brought in for this more and more.
One of the best reasons to engage an external party to keep your operations team current on the modern tech stack is accountability.
Managers have 100 things to do.
Holding team members' hands, removing their barriers, addressing their psychological concerns about AI isn't always a top priority. Usually it's the first thing that slips.
The second a team like 8F is brought in, the conversation changes:
"We need to do this. We've paid an external party to make it happen. Our expectation is that you cooperate with them, and they're going to hold your hand to make sure you're successful."
Anyone who resists a third party brought in to make their life, their job, and the business better shouldn't be there.
If your team has AI systems they aren't using, this is now a service we run. Book time with me here to get your team on the bandwagon.
3. Change Management
Conduct training sessions.
Hold 1 on 1 training.
Remove barriers.
A lot more effort on management. Most don’t have the capacity for it.
Pick a path & GL.
