Future-Proof Your SMB: Build a Culture Open to Knowledge Sharing

Invest in Targeted Training

Generic training programs simply don’t cut it. Identify specific AI tools and technologies relevant to your business and provide customized training programs to equip your team with the practical skills they need to make the most of these resources. From hands-on workshops to presentations led by subject matter experts, you want to ensure that your team understands how AI directly impacts their roles and contributes to overall business objectives.

Facilitate Knowledge Exchange

Team meetings, staff calls, and company-wide events are all opportunities to encourage knowledge sharing among your team members. These team get-togethers—online or in person—are ideal for your employees to present their learnings, share best practices, and discuss challenges openly.

Not sure if your industry (and your employees) will be impacted by AI? According to our AI Business Insights Report, here are the top seven industries where AI adoption is having an impact:

Another idea is to set up a dedicated internal platform (like Workvivo or Slack) to share AI-related resources and insights to further inspire ongoing collaboration and learning.

Recognize and Reward Innovation

Have you noticed certain employees who’ve quickly adopted AI and contributed to the collective knowledge pool? Reward them for their quick uptake! Recognizing and rewarding innovation reinforces the importance of continuous learning, helps to cultivate a culture of curiosity and growth, and motivates other team members to embrace new technologies. 

Start Small, Scale Smart

Ready to test the waters? It’s best to begin with pilot projects involving a small group of team members. This allows you to experiment with AI implementation in a controlled environment, gather valuable feedback, and refine your approach before rolling it out company-wide.
