Why Your Company Needs to Move Faster with AI

Reading time: 4 minutes

AI is moving faster than you think

In a world where new technologies come fast, AI is beating all expectations. ChatGPT reached 100 million users in just five weeks – faster than TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram ever did. At the same time, businesses are adopting AI at record speed: the number of companies using AI in multiple parts of their operations nearly doubled in 2024.

Why ‘waiting’ is not a strategy

It might seem smart to wait until AI is more “mature.” But the risk of not investing is much bigger than the risk of starting too early. If you start now, you learn faster. You build faster. You adapt faster. If you wait? You’ll soon be 10 steps behind.

AI advantages grow over time: the sooner you begin, the more experience you gain, the faster you scale – and the harder it becomes for others to catch up.

Think of AI like a ball rolling down a hill. The sooner you let it roll, the more speed it picks up. If you wait too long, your ball starts later – and you’ll always be behind those who are already moving fast.

Agents aren’t hype – they’re a game changer

From co-pilots to agents: AI tools are evolving from simple helpers to true digital colleagues. According to KPMG, 65% of companies are already experimenting with agents. These agents can run processes on their own, make decisions, and grow alongside your organization. source

Companies are already using AI for things like customer service, marketing, data handling, and content creation. What’s next? Full AI teams running campaigns, managing operations, and even shaping strategy.

What can you do today?

1. Create a clear AI vision at leadership level. Employees want to understand where the company is going – and what their role will be. A small experiment isn’t enough; you need a well-thought-out, personalized plan.

2. Invest in your foundation. Only 22% of companies have the right infrastructure for AI. Make sure your data, processes, and guidelines are in order. This should go hand-in-hand with your AI strategy.

3. Start small – but start. Try AI in one area – like proposals, support, or sales – and scale up what works. It’s easier to take one step at a time than trying to leap up five steps all at once.

4. Use better tools. Many employees get frustrated because the tools at work are worse than what they use at home. Give them access to the best, safest, and most reliable AI tools so they can really benefit from what AI has to offer.
