A Simple 90-Day Plan to Turn AI Activity Into Business Results
Grounding AI
<p>Most companies are now tracking whether their teams are using AI tools. But there’s a more important question leaders should be asking.</p>
<p>Is AI actually helping your business grow?</p>
<p>In this episode of Grounding AI, Donna Peterson walks through the critical shift leaders need to make, from monitoring usage to driving results. Because activity alone doesn’t move a business forward. Direction does.</p>
<p>You’ll learn why simply telling your team to “use AI” often leads to confusion, inconsistency, and wasted investment, and what to do instead.</p>
<p>Donna introduces a practical 90-day framework that helps teams build confidence, stay aligned, and apply AI in ways that directly support business goals.</p>
<p>What You’ll Learn:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why tracking AI usage alone creates a false sense of progress</li>
<li>The risk of investing in tools without structured guidance</li>
<li>How lack of training leads to fragmented, ineffective efforts</li>
<li>Why consistency and collaboration matter more than frequency</li>
<li>How to align AI usage with real business outcomes</li>
<li>The 90-Day AI Adoption Plan</li>
</ul>
<p>Days 1–30: Build Habit and Visibility</p>
<ul>
<li>Short check-ins 3x per week</li>
<li>Focus on how AI will be used that week</li>
<li>Share early wins and ideas across the team</li>
</ul>
<p>Days 31–60: Strengthen Consistency</p>
<ul>
<li>Weekly team check-ins</li>
<li>Address challenges and refine usage</li>
<li>Share templates and successful workflows</li>
</ul>
<p>Days 61–90: Scale and Optimize</p>
<ul>
<li>Monthly deep-dive sessions</li>
<li>Demonstrate real use cases step-by-step</li>
<li>Provide recordings for continued learning</li>
</ul>
<p>Key Takeaway: Usage does not equal results. AI should help your team focus on the right work, not just more work.</p>
<p>Action You Can Take Today</p>
<ul>
<li>Set up a simple weekly check-in with your team:</li>
<li>Ask how AI is being used</li>
<li>Identify one successful use case</li>
<li>Share it across the team</li>
</ul>
<p>Start guiding direction, not just tracking activity.</p>
