• AI is everywhere, but so is a new problem: AI-slop.

      Harvard Business Review reports that 95 % of organizations aren’t seeing real ROI from AI. After working with 100+ SMEs, we’ve seen why — three common mistakes keep showing up:

      1. Assigning AI more responsibility than it can handle
      Start with low-risk, low-complexity tasks. AI still makes errors.

      2. Chasing prompts instead of building processes
      Real value comes from structured, data-rich, repeatable workflows.

      3. No AI governance
      Between 62-77 % of employees accidentally leak sensitive data into AI tools.

      For Canadian SMEs, the goal isn’t rapid adoption. It’s smart, controlled adoption.
      Start small. Build clear processes. Protect your data. Scale when ready.
