“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war.” - Sun Tzu

AI isn’t a battlefield (thankfully), but in today’s competitive landscape, the organisations who succeed are the ones who prepare before they fight for market share.

They build capability. They build clarity. They build confidence.

There is a quiet trend happening inside businesses right now: everything is being labelled an "AI project".

Some of these are genuinely strategic.

Some are useful experiments.

Some are... well, a spreadsheet with better marketing.

AI has already slipped quietly into daily work.

Someone in the office is using ChatGPT to draft emails. Another is generating lesson plans, summarising meeting notes, or experimenting with AI tools in Canva, Power BI, or Microsoft 365.

This early curiosity is incredibly valuable - it shows momentum, interest, and a desire to work smarter.
