Welcome to another episode of Grow with Technology, where we cut through the hype and noise surrounding AI adoption in business. Today, Ben Bard and Jessica Smith tackle a surprising disconnect: while 88% of businesses are now using AI, less than a third are seeing any real financial return from it. Why? Because most are falling into the “tool-first trap”—buying flashy new software without redesigning broken processes underneath.
In this deep dive, you'll hear an evidence-based roadmap for small and mid-sized consulting firms: how to escape AI information overload, prioritize ROI over tools, and build workflows that actually turn technology into measurable value. Drawing on robust industry data and the latest AI frameworks, Ben Bard and Jessica Smith share practical steps to avoid expensive busywork, protect client trust, and empower consultants to do deeper, more meaningful work—without sacrificing quality or security. Stay tuned to learn why the winning firms aren’t the ones with the most software, but those who use AI to amplify human judgment and creativity.
