Can you imagine going back to working without AI?

Over the past year, I have been on a learning journey, incorporating AI in most aspects of my working life. From simple writing and editing to more complex writing: proposals, strategy, vision and mission statements, opportunity areas and research summaries, workshops, interview guides, etc.

I also started using it as a thinking partner. Helping me frame and reframe themes and questions. Doing data analysis and reasoning about outcomes and scenarios. Then I started writing software with it. Architecting systems, doing advanced data analysis, creating prototypes, and incorporating tools like GitHub Copilot into my everyday work.

Now I can’t imagine going back to working without AI. The range of work I’ve been involved with and the amount of work I can get done have benefited me and my clients enormously.

Often times, when I talk to clients, colleagues, and friends, and realize there is an AI divide emerging. Believers vs. skeptics. Early adopters vs. cautious observers. Prompt proficient vs. prompt naive users.

Organizations that are in or out when it comes to AI. This observation has led me to partner with Axel, and together we have been prototyping an offer to address this gap in the market. We have launched https://www.nextventure.ai to test it.

We call it Expert-led AI Growth Sprints. And we want to help organizations embrace AI and become as proficient as we are.

How do we do it?

For three weeks, we work with you to explore a growth opportunity for a given customer segment, leveraging AI every step of the way.

What’s a growth opportunity?

It can be a new product, service, or venture. A new customer segment you want to serve. A new positioning or market. It could be top-line net new growth or bottom-line optimization. We believe there are many AI growth opportunities waiting to be explored. We can show you how in just 3 weeks.

The common thread to uncovering any of these growth opportunities is following a similar process: focusing on a customer, leveraging existing research and data analysis to understand needs and opportunities, ideating based on research insights, problems, and opportunities, and prototyping to crystallize new solutions.

By leveraging AI every step of the way, you can do this faster, cheaper, and better than ever before.

What are the outcomes of our Sprint?

• You uncover new growth opportunities.
• You have early prototypes of new ideas you can use to test new value propositions.
• You’ve leveraged AI to create new insights, personas, and trends relevant to your focus customer segment.
• Your team learns how to use AI in a practical, outcome-based approach.
• In just three weeks, you will have a toolkit that you can use to apply AI to other areas of your work.
