SUMMARY:De-Risking AI for Real Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: Stop Automating the Wrong Things \nJumpStart is pleased to partner with Big Kitty Labs and Tushar Kulkarni for a practical webinar focused on one of the biggest mistakes founders and business owners are making right now: rushing into AI and automation before the business itself is ready. \nAs AI tools become more accessible\, many companies are automating processes that are still unclear\, inefficient\, or heavily dependent on founder judgment. Instead of creating leverage\, this often introduces operational risk\, weakens customer experience\, and adds unnecessary complexity. \nThis session is designed to help entrepreneurs step back and evaluate where AI actually creates value\, where it creates friction\, and how to make smarter automation decisions that support sustainable growth. \nAttendees will learn how to: \n\nDistinguish between “we need AI” and “we need a better process”\nIdentify which workflows are truly ready for automation\nAvoid common early-stage automation mistakes\nEvaluate high-value vs. low-value AI opportunities\nApply a practical “When AI?” framework to business decisions\nProtect trust\, tone\, and brand consistency while using AI\nUnderstand which parts of the business should remain founder-led\nUse AI as a tool for leverage rather than a replacement for judgment\n\nBy the end of the session\, participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to evaluate AI opportunities intentionally\, reduce operational risk\, and focus automation efforts where they can have the greatest impact. \nWebinars are open to all JumpStart clients\, partners\, and community businesses. Registration is required to receive the webinar link.
