📊 Executive Insight #10

“Make this better.”

We say it to AI—but what does “better” mean? 🤔

Shorter?
Friendlier?
More detailed?
Clearer about what happens next?

Try deciding what you want before you start.

For a customer email, you might say:

👉 Explain the situation clearly.
👉 Keep it under 150 words.
👉 Use a friendly tone.
👉 End with one clear next step.
👉 Don’t add any promises.

Now you have something specific to check the answer against.

Before your next AI task, finish this sentence:

“A good result must…”

⚡ AI Productivity Tip #10

Finally got AI to write your weekly update the way you wanted?

Save the prompt! 🙂

Next week, you can reuse the instructions and change the details.

Here’s a starting point:

“Turn these notes into a short weekly update for [AUDIENCE]. Include completed work, next priorities, blockers and decisions needed. Use a friendly, professional tone. Don’t add facts I haven’t supplied.

My notes: [ADD NON-SENSITIVE NOTES]”

Save it somewhere easy to find.

Next time:
✅ Add your new notes.
✅ Adjust the instructions if needed.
✅ Check the finished update before sending.

What do you write every week that could use a saved prompt?

💡 AI Leadership Minute #10

Has someone in your team found a useful way to use AI?

Ask them to show everyone how. 🙂

Give them five minutes at your next meeting to share:

👉 The task.
👉 The prompt they used.
👉 What needed fixing.
👉 What they checked.

Use an example without private business or customer information.

Then save the prompt so someone else can try it.

You don’t need a big presentation. One practical example could help a colleague get past “I don’t know where to start.”

What’s one AI tip you would share with your team?

🔎 AI Myth vs Reality #9

❌ MYTH: “It sounds so confident—it must be right.”

✅ REALITY: AI can sound convincing and still get something wrong.

Before you copy, send or publish, check:

🔹 Names and dates.
🔹 Prices and calculations.
🔹 Any facts or promises it has added.

And remember: asking “Are you sure?” isn’t the same as checking the answer yourself. 🙂

AI can help you prepare the work. Your judgement helps make it ready to use.

🛠️ AI in Action #9

Do you find yourself answering the same customer questions over and over?

“How do I book?”
“What’s included?”
“What happens next?”

Try turning those questions into a simple FAQ with AI.

👉 List the questions without anyone’s personal details.
👉 Add your approved business information.
👉 Ask AI to write short, friendly answers.
👉 Check the answers before sharing them.

Add this instruction:

“Use only the information I provide. If an answer is missing, mark it ‘Needs confirmation’.”

You’ll have a useful starting point for your website, customer replies or team reference sheet.

What’s the question you get asked every week? 👇

📊 Executive Insight #9

AI wrote your report in two minutes. Brilliant!

But did you then spend 45 minutes fixing it?

That part counts too. 🙂

When you try AI at work, look at the whole job:

✅ How long did it take from start to finish?
✅ How much correcting was needed?
✅ Was the final result useful and accurate?

Pick one task you do regularly and compare the two approaches.

The aim is to finish good work with less effort.

Which task would you put to the test?

⚡ AI Productivity Tip #9

Ever asked AI to write something and thought:

“That’s nice… but it’s not what I meant”? 😅

Try this simple instruction:

👉 “Before you start, ask me five questions to help you understand what I need. Wait for my answers.”

You can use it when drafting an email, planning a presentation or preparing a proposal.

Your answers give AI a clearer brief—and give you a chance to think through what you actually want.

Save this tip and try it with your next task.

💡 AI Leadership Minute #9

“I tried AI once. It wasn’t very good.”

Sound familiar? 🙂

One disappointing answer can stop someone from trying again—especially if they’re unsure how to improve it.

If you lead a team, give people room to practise.

Choose a simple task using non-sensitive information. Let them try it, adjust their instructions and share what they learned.

A useful question for your next meeting:

👉 “What have you tried with AI, and where did you get stuck?”

You could turn one person’s frustration into a learning opportunity for everyone.

AI Myth vs Reality #8

MYTH
“If AI sounds professional, the answer must be correct.”

REALITY
AI can be:
• Confident
• Detailed
• Persuasive
• Completely wrong

Good writing is not proof of accuracy.

For important work:
✔ Check the facts
✔ Verify important figures
✔ Confirm sources
✔ Review recommendations
✔ Apply human judgement

Professional language does not guarantee professional accuracy.

AI in Action #8

Your customers may already be telling you what needs to improve.

The challenge is finding the patterns.

Take customer:
• Reviews
• Emails
• Survey responses
• Support queries
• Complaints

and ask AI to identify:
1. The most common problems
2. Repeated requests
3. Positive themes
4. Areas creating frustration
5. Opportunities for improvement

AI can help turn hundreds of individual comments into useful business insight.

Sometimes the answer isn't creating more data.

It's understanding the data you already have.
