You handed out ChatGPT with a text box that says “Ask anything,” ran a basic AI training session, and expected your team to build cross-functional AI workflows that they orchestrate.
That’s the Grand Canyon, not a strategy.
Many people still look at ChatGPT and see a fancy search engine. Or an intern that hallucinates. Or a Q&A machine that makes things faster but not better.
Basic training doesn’t change that. Teaching your team how to prompt without showing them what’s actually possible just means they’ll write better queries to the search engine.
ChatGPT speaks natural language. You can draft strategy, analyze patterns, build frameworks, test ideas, challenge assumptions. It’s a thought partner you guide, not just a faster way to Google.
Nobody’s showing them how to build AI teammates (e.g., custom GPTs) for specific tasks and connect them together to create an end-fo-end workflow.
So they’re stuck on one side of the Grand Canyon, thinking they need to walk across on foot. When really, they could fly.
Show your team what’s possible. Share real examples. Walk through use cases that matter for their role. Put hands on keyboard to build confidence. Teach them to use it responsibly and strategically. Give them the space to learn. Let them reimagine new work that wasn’t possible before, not just make old work faster.
Once they see and experience it, they’ll soar.
