Rolling out AI tools without the chaos

Ally Aiyes · 10 Jul 2026

We are piloting AI assistants across the company. How are you handling data policies, training and quality control so the tools help rather than confuse? Practical experiences welcome.

We've found that implementing tools like Tableau has helped us track AI assistant usage, with around 80% of our teams using it daily. What kind of support structure are you putting in place for employees who are struggling to adapt to the new AI tools?

Generally I've seen these pilots kick off with high hopes but fizzle out quickly. What's been really noticeable for me is how they can expose existing process gaps that we hadn't addressed.

I was pretty surprised when our team tried to integrate an AI tool with our existing CRM system, it just didn't play nice and caused more problems than it solved. We thought it'd be a simple fix but it ended up taking up a lot of our time and resources, so we had to put that project on the backburner. Now we're taking a more gradual approach, testing each tool with a small group of users before rolling it out to the rest of the company.
