A Phased Approach to Embedding AI in the Workplace
Integrating AI into an organisation’s culture doesn’t happen overnight. In fact, a phased approach is proving to be a practical strategy. The initial phase often focuses on AI’s ability to ‘tidy up’ operational inefficiencies. Imagine using AI to harmonise job descriptions across teams, removing inconsistencies and ensuring everyone works from the same well-organised playbook. This streamlines processes, reduces errors, and helps team members align on responsibilities.
As AI becomes familiar, the next phase is about embedding it into the very fabric of how teams work and interact. In this sense, AI can become part of the team itself—a valuable ‘colleague’ that provides insights, performs analyses, and supports decision-making in real time. But to avoid losing the human touch, it’s essential to plan and regulate this integration thoughtfully. This careful, two-phase approach allows organisations to make full use of AI’s strengths while maintaining the essential relational aspects of their culture.
