For many small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), the promise of AI feels both exciting and overwhelming. Leaders hear about automation, predictive analytics, and productivity gains—but without a clear plan, AI adoption can feel like chaos. The key is starting with focus and measurable outcomes. That’s where a 90-day AI roadmap comes in.
Step 1: Define Your “Why” Before Your “What”
Before exploring tools or algorithms, identify your most pressing business problems. Are your teams losing hours to manual processes? Is customer data underutilized? Pinpointing one or two core challenges creates direction. The AI Readiness Accelerator from Aigility Hub helps leaders articulate these priorities with clarity and confidence.
Step 2: Assess Current Capabilities
Next, take inventory of your data, workflows, and team readiness. You don’t need massive data lakes or in-house data scientists—just structured data, defined processes, and openness to change. Through workshops and assessments, leaders can gauge where they stand today and what needs to evolve for successful AI adoption.
Step 3: Identify Quick Wins (30–60 Days)
AI success doesn’t have to be years away. Look for quick wins that create measurable value—such as automating repetitive administrative tasks, implementing chat-based support, or forecasting demand using existing sales data. These small wins build trust and momentum across teams.
Step 4: Design the 90-Day Roadmap
Translate strategy into execution with a 90-day plan. This includes:
- Clear milestones for implementation
- Defined ownership and accountability
- Metrics for success (e.g., hours saved, improved accuracy, faster response times)
This approach ensures that AI becomes a measurable business driver, not an abstract concept.
Step 5: Communicate and Celebrate Results
Once initial results start showing, communicate them internally. Recognize team contributions and share how these outcomes connect to bigger goals. This reinforces a culture of innovation and keeps your workforce motivated.
