Common Questions After the Course

Q: I'm convinced AI is valuable, but my leadership team isn't. What do I do?

A: Build a compelling business case using Module 9's framework. Focus on ROI, not technology. Share competitor examples and industry trends. Start with a small pilot to prove value—success speaks louder than presentations.

Q: We're a small business. Is AI only for large companies?

A: Not at all! Small businesses can benefit significantly from AI, especially using SaaS tools or partnering with AI providers like MAIA. Many AI solutions are now affordable and accessible to SMEs.

Q: How do I know if a vendor is selling me "real" AI vs. marketing hype?

A: Ask specific questions: What data does it use? How does it learn? Can it explain decisions? What accuracy can I expect? Request case studies and references. Be skeptical of "magic" claims—real AI has measurable outcomes and limitations.

Q: Should I hire data scientists or partner with consultants?

A: For your first project, partner with experts (like MAIA). Build internal knowledge gradually. Hire data scientists once you have multiple ongoing AI initiatives and clear career path for them.

Q: How do I address employee fears about AI replacing jobs?

A: Be transparent: AI augments humans, doesn't replace them. It handles repetitive tasks so employees can focus on higher-value work. Involve employees early, provide training, and celebrate how AI makes their jobs better.
