A guide for the board","SH","CEO of eConnect4U · 20+ years in IT, leads ecSearch and ecChat implementations","Table of contents","Contents","Start with the process, not the technology","How to choose the first process","Quantify the potential","A pilot instead of a grand strategy","FAQ","Team planning an AI implementation","Most companies start their AI implementation with the question \"which model should we choose?\" - and that's the first mistake. AI isn't the goal; it's a tool for a specific process. This guide is for a board that wants to quantify the potential and start with something that pays back - instead of funding yet another \"AI strategy\".","Asking \"which AI model?\" is like asking \"which engine?\" without knowing whether you're building a motorbike or a lorry. Process first, then the tool. A good first AI project is one that is repeatable, measurable and currently eats up a lot of people's time.","For us, the most common \"first process\" is customer service and store search - because the effect shows up in the numbers within weeks, not after a year.","Hold your processes up against four criteria - the more \"yes\" answers, the better the candidate:","\u003Cstrong>Repeatability\u003C\u002Fstrong> - it happens every day, many times over (e.g. the same customer questions).","\u003Cstrong>Measurability\u003C\u002Fstrong> - you can count \"before and after\" (time, conversion, number of tickets).","\u003Cstrong>Time cost\u003C\u002Fstrong> - it currently eats up team hours that could be moved to more valuable work.","\u003Cstrong>Data availability\u003C\u002Fstrong> - you have material for the AI to draw on (catalogue, FAQs, ticket history).","Quantify the potential before you spend a single pound","Before any project gets going, do a simple back-of-the-envelope calculation: number of events per month × time per event × hourly cost = the pool AI can recover. Then add the sales effect (e.g. service outside working hours).","A reference point","At Ciepło24.pl the AI assistant closes \u003Cstrong>88%\u003C\u002Fstrong> of conversations without a human agent and handles \u003Cstrong>43%\u003C\u002Fstrong> of enquiries outside working hours. Those are real team hours and real orders that used to slip away - quantifiable before the implementation even starts.","Not sure which process to start with?","In a workshop we'll identify the process with the best effect-to-cost ratio and quantify the potential.","See AI implementations →","You don't need a year-long \"AI transformation\". You need one process, implemented in 2-4 weeks, with a clear measure of success. A pilot gives you data, and data - not slide decks - is the best argument for scaling.","If the pilot pays back, you expand. If it doesn't - you've lost weeks, not quarters.
