THE DAILY AI INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING
Briefing ID: 26-030
Status: Confidential
Hello, Fellow Human. Time to upgrade.
A few years ago, I talked with an HR executive who was evaluating a massive new talent acquisition platform. He told me how the vendor handed him a beautiful, glossy spreadsheet that showed exactly how many hours they would save and the direct cost reductions. It looked like a total slam dunk.
But when they rolled it out, it was a disaster. Why? Because they only measured the cost savings. They didn't factor in the adoption friction, the workflow disruption, or the new compliance risks it introduced.
Traditional ROI measures projects like a piece of machinery. But projects involve people, learning curves, and shifting dynamics. If you only look at time and money, you're missing the bigger picture.
Lucky for you, AI can help you measure the project’s Return on Intelligence by looking at things like Decision Quality, Risk Management, and Capability Building.
Today’s prompt will show you how you can use AI to look around corners and stress-test the true ROI of your next project before you commit a single dollar.
Let's go raise your AIQ.
