<p>Many companies are experimenting with AI tools.</p>
<p>But a bigger leadership question is starting to emerge: How should teams organize AI so it actually improves productivity?</p>
<p>After presenting at the Verticon conference, Donna Peterson had several leaders ask the same practical question: Should we build AI Projects… or custom GPTs?</p>
<p>The answer depends on how your team works.</p>
<p>In this episode of the B2B Marketing Excellence and AI Podcast, Donna walks through real scenarios discussed with business leaders and explains when each structure works best.</p>
<p>If your team is beginning to integrate AI into daily operations, this conversation will help you avoid common mistakes and build a system that actually supports your workflow.</p>
<p>What You’ll Learn:</p>
<ul>
<li>The key difference between AI Projects and GPTs</li>
<li>Why leaders often put AI work in the wrong place</li>
<li>How projects help organize ongoing internal work</li>
<li>When GPTs are better for repeatable questions or tasks</li>
<li>A simple framework leaders can use before building AI tools</li>
<li>Why your internal documentation matters more than the AI itself</li>
</ul>
<p>Three Leadership Questions to Ask Before Building AI. Before creating new AI tools, Donna suggests leaders pause and ask:</p>
<ul>
<li>What work is slowing my team down right now?</li>
<li>Is this ongoing work or a repeatable task?</li>
<li>Do we already have the internal knowledge to support it?</li>
</ul>
<p>These answers will help determine whether your team should create a Project or a custom GPT.</p>
<p>Key Takeaway-<br> AI tools are most effective when they support clear leadership thinking and organized workflows.</p>
<p>The technology itself isn’t the strategy, how you structure it inside your organization is what makes the difference.</p>
