The Smart Way to Start with AI

Why Crawl-Walk-Run Works

1. Start Small, Learn Fast (Crawl)

Instead of jumping headfirst into complex automations, the best place to begin is with low-risk, high-impact use cases. These might include:

• Summarizing documents

• Drafting content or emails

• Translating materials into client-preferred languages

• Performing basic data analysis

Even at global firms like Goldman Sachs, AI adoption started this way. Their internal AI assistant began with a 10,000-person pilot focused on exactly these types of tasks — before rolling out company-wide.

2. Build on What Works (Walk)

Once you’ve proven AI can save time and improve quality in one part of your business, you’re ready to expand. The “walk” phase involves applying AI across more roles and departments. Examples:

• Sales teams using AI to build outreach plans

• HR teams creating development roadmaps

• Finance teams analyzing cost trends

This phase is about scaling smartly and building internal champions who know how to guide others.

3. Drive Business Transformation (Run)

The final stage is where AI becomes embedded in your day-to-day operations. You might:

• Automate end-to-end workflows

• Launch AI agents that work 24/7

• Customize AI tools for your specific business needs

At this point, your team sees AI as a partner — not a tool — and you’re unlocking the full value across your business.

Lessons from Leading Companies

• Morgan Stanley started with 1,000 advisors before expanding AI assistant access across their wealth division. Why? To validate results and build trust first.

• A logistics company began by optimizing one delivery route with AI. After seeing improved fuel efficiency and customer satisfaction, they expanded across all operations.

• Nonprofits and small businesses use AI to automate donor communications or customer support, starting small and scaling based on success.

The common thread? Small experiments first, expansion second. Always with support, training, and iteration.
