Integrating A.i. intentionally
The Current Climate & Artificial Intelligence
A.I. is on the rise yet most people only see ChatGPT as a tool they can use. Maybe because it was the largest funded A.I. system available to the public, the ease of use, or the way they entered the market to serve anyone and everyone. The truth is artificial intelligence although widely known is vastly misunderstood. The majority does not understand the true power that it holds or how to properly utilize it. Ultimately A.I. can power you to do more, it just depends on how you implement it.
Innovation with Intention
Innovation is what powers us forward. Technological advancements are constantly pushing the envelope of what is possible. Sometimes in a big way. While artificial intelligence can seem overwhelming and even daunting, if you are intentional about what needs to be done, it can change your operations overnight. At my company Forge Ahead Services, we pride ourselves on our ability to create structures and systems that are authentic and ethical. This means that if you are a small company, we would choose a much different way of integrating A.I. than we would for a large corporation. This is because every business is built differently, operates differently, and in turn has different needs. To be intentional is to understand these needs on a foundational level and adapt operations that will truly elevate the. Business as a whole.
Integrating Appropriately
There is a lot of fear of A.I. replacing people as well as dehumanizing our already disconnected society. I now and forever will always hold that A.I. should be a tool not a replacement. People come first! When I think about adopting A.I. responsibly, I think about how to use it in ways that only enhance productivity to empower individuals and businesses. Think about situations that require time consuming tasks. I believe artificial intelligence can lend a helping hand there so that there is more time for what makes us human.
Integrating artificial intelligence appropriately also means using everything you need and nothing that you don't. As a business owner or leader you have to ask yourself what you need help with, what are your true challenges that can be alleviated through proper integration? What would you find strength in automating, how would it push you to be more successful? Would you or your team requiring any training or support by integrating these new systems? By taking the first step into understanding these, you can put your business ahead. To be brutally honest, failure to adopt artificial intelligence will you put behind those who are actively putting in the effort to use it!
How I Can Help
If you are someone that fears artificial intelligence, you are not alone. Many people do not understand and it is a large industry that takes some getting used to. If you are someone that is interested in adopting A.I. but you have no idea where to start, I would be happy to help you both adopt it appropriately and use it properly. This is not a one-size-fits-all type of situation. As I mentioned previously, every business has different needs and different challenges. These things require different systems to be implemented. Whether it's repetitive tasks draining your time, a barrier to entry due to fear of lack of education, or workflows that just need some improvement - we can find the right solution for you.
Let's Forge Ahead with Intention
Let's be clear. Your inability to adopt artificial intelligence will leave you at a huge disadvantage. National University reported that "9 out of 10 organizations support AI for a competitive advantage" and "63% of organizations intend to adopt AI globally within the next three years" (Prestianni, 2025). A.I. is reshaping our businesses, our industries, our world. It is no secret that it is here to stay. Now is the time to put your best foot forward and integrate it in a way that makes sense for you.
