Unlocking AI Potential: Free Consultation for Small Businesses

In today’s digital age, the implementation of AI has become vital for businesses aiming to stay competitive. However, many small enterprises find themselves struggling with the effective use of tools like ChatGPT. To address these challenges, Sketch Consulting, a Tokyo-based firm specializing in organizational and human resource transformation, has launched a free online consultation program aimed at assisting companies in integrating AI into their operations.

Tailored 60-Minute Consultations

These consultations are not mere lectures on AI; instead, they provide a unique opportunity for business leaders and AI managers to discuss their specific needs in a focused 60-minute session. By directly answering the question, “What should we do in our case?” this program aims to guide participants through the initial steps of AI integration designed specifically for their organizational context.

The Current Landscape: AI Stagnation

Many companies have encountered significant challenges after introducing AI solutions. A commonly reported scenario is that firms implement tools like ChatGPT but fail to see them utilized effectively. Reasons for this stagnation often include:

• - Lack of Familiarity: Employees may not know how to use these tools effectively, leading to underutilization and unnecessary costs.
• - Solo Responsibility: Designated AI representatives often find themselves working alone, lacking a support network or shared structure, which hampers the technology's success within the organization.
• - Indecision on Priorities: Teams may want to enhance efficiency but struggle to determine where to begin, frequently leaning towards the loudest voices rather than impactful actions.

These obstacles highlight a deeper issue: a failure to design a clear plan regarding who will use the AI, when, and for what purpose. Without a structured strategy, potential benefits remain unrealized.

Making Consultation Practical

A Different Approach

The program emphasizes a pragmatic approach to solving existing problems within the organization. Instead of getting lost in vague discussions about being short-staffed or busy, the consultation focuses on deconstructing business structures to reorganize problem-solving pathways.

Setting Actionable Priorities

Participants will collaboratively establish criteria for selecting the first steps in their AI integration. Factors considered will include potential impact, ease of internal agreement, and sustainability of operations.

Concrete Steps

Importantly, the consultations don’t stop at abstract advice. Attendees will leave with a clear, actionable plan that specifies who will do what the following week.
