The AI revolution isn’t coming, it’s already here. Businesses across every industry are finding new ways to save time, reduce costs, and increase productivity with automation and artificial intelligence. But before jumping in, there’s a crucial question to ask:
At Innovative Automations, we’ve seen organizations rush into automation only to realize they didn’t have a clear plan, or that they were solving the wrong problems. That’s why we guide our clients through a thoughtful, strategic AI assessment before recommending any tools or technology.
If you’re thinking about AI or Robotic Process Automation (RPA), start here:
AI is a powerful tool, but it’s not a magic wand. It works best when targeted at specific problems.
Ask yourself:
What are your most time-consuming, repetitive tasks?
Where are you seeing delays, errors, or inefficiencies?
What tasks frustrate your team the most?
Example: If your staff spends hours every week manually entering data or sorting emails, those are prime candidates for automation.
Pro Tip: Our AI Accelerator Program includes a deep-dive assessment to uncover your biggest time-wasters.
AI and RPA work best when processes are clearly defined. If your operations depend on tribal knowledge (i.e., “Talk to Susan—she knows how it works”), automation will be hard to implement.
Ask:
Are key workflows written down or mapped out?
Can someone outside your team understand them?
Are there consistent inputs and outputs?
Don’t worry if the answer is “not yet”, we help clients document and streamline processes as part of implementation.
AI doesn’t replace people, it empowers them. But if your team is skeptical or fearful, even the best solution may fall flat.
Ask:
Have you had conversations about how AI can support your team?
Do employees understand what’s changing, and why?
Is leadership aligned and ready to champion adoption?
Remember: AI success is as much about culture as it is about code.
AI thrives on data, but poor data can lead to poor results.
Think about:
Is your data structured, accessible, and clean?
Do your systems talk to each other?
Do you know where key information lives?
We don’t expect perfection, our team works with clients to integrate, clean, and prepare data so it’s automation-ready.
AI should support your business goals, not distract from them. That’s why we always start by asking: What does success look like for you?
Is your goal to:
Improve customer response times?
Reduce overhead?
Free your team to focus on innovation?
Clear goals ensure we design the right solution for real impact, not just shiny tech for tech’s sake.
The good news? You don’t need to figure this out on your own.
