In this episode, we talk to Josh Huston, an AI adoption consultant and the founder of Quick AI Wins, about bridging the gap between purchasing AI technology and actually getting teams to use it productively. Josh shares his expertise on helping teams develop "AI intuition" without needing to become technical programmers.   Faced with a landscape where companies are investing heavily in AI but often failing to see returns, Josh explains why treating AI adoption as a "people problem" rather than a "technical problem" is the key to success. He reveals why 75% of IT transformation projects fail and how businesses can avoid these pitfalls by focusing on being "tech-savvy" rather than technical.   We dive deep into the specific strategies Josh uses to help teams save hours every day, including his unique approach to training that focuses on real work files rather than generic seminars. Learn how to move beyond the hype of prompt engineering and focus on "AI success patterns" that stand the test of time, even as models change.   Key Takeaways: Tech-Savvy vs. Technical: Why you don't need to be a coder to master AI, and the importance of data hygiene skills like file organization. The "Quick Wins" Methodology: How to identify high-impact workflows—like meeting minutes—where AI can reduce a 4-hour task to 15 minutes. The End of Prompt Engineering: Why new reasoning models render complex prompt frameworks obsolete and what you should learn instead. Leadership’s Role: How middle managers and leaders can drive adoption by sharing their own "aha moments" and encouraging experimentation.   Episode Highlights: The critical difference between "Research & Development" and "Learning & Development" in AI strategy. Why generic AI training seminars often fail to produce results. A bold strategy for leaders: Creating a budget for employees to test three different premium AI tools. How to build "AI enhanced SOPs" to streamline onboarding and knowledge transfer. Josh’s "6-hour rule" for effective AI training sessions.
