Tuesday Pulse: aI - Not ready for AI yet? Here's what that actually means (and what you fix first)

"Not ready" isn't a verdict. It's a diagnosis. Most businesses that aren't ready for AI implementation are missing one of four specific things. Fix the right one and the use case becomes viable. Skip it and the tool makes things worse. In this session from Track C of Tuesday Pulse: AI, we work through the four readiness gaps that cause SMB AI projects to quietly fail — and what to do about each one before a tool ever goes live. What's covered: The four readiness gaps — process documentation, data quality, output ownership, and cost assumptions — and the specific fix for each. How shadow AI changes the readiness question if your team is already using tools you haven't sanctioned. The minimum governance baseline every small business needs right now, including what an AI point-person actually does and why one named person makes the difference. This session is part of Track C: AI That Holds Up — a five-session series built for SMB owners who are skeptical of AI hype or somewhere in the middle of a rollout that isn't going as planned.
