The other day, we all got together at microTOOL, pizza on the table and laptops open, ready to talk about AI. But we weren’t discussing concepts like self-driving cars or talking robots; we were talking about it in very practical terms: How can we use AI in objectiF RPM to really help us in our everyday work?
To answer this question, each one of us presented their very own AI assistant. We tested them, discussed them, and had a laugh when the suggestions were a bit odd at first. In the end, we came up with numerous tangible ideas and realized that, when used sensibly, AI can give us a significant boost.
Building AI Skills
Many companies today face similar challenges including a shortage of skilled workers, increasing product complexity, and growing time-to-market demands. Simply introducing new technologies is no longer enough; employees must also be able to use them sensibly and adapt them to their specific workflows.
Therefore, building AI skills is a strategic necessity. AI can accelerate processes and automate routine tasks. It is also increasingly being used for strategic proposals and creative brainstorming. However, without the active involvement of employees, a significant portion of this potential will remain untapped.
Integrating AI into Your Daily Work Routine – Here’s How
Successful AI implementation requires more than providing the appropriate licenses and tools. It’s essential that employees are fully informed and trained from the beginning.
Begin with internal training courses that explain technical functions and build AI skills, as well as illustrate the advantages of AI in your work processes. Workshops that play out use cases from your company can help reduce skepticism.
Allow time for discussion and feedback so teams can share experiences and learn from each other. Clearly communicating the goals of AI deployment will ensure your employees recognize its added value and actively participate in shaping it.
The Immediate Benefits of Working with AI
When employees actively integrate AI into their daily work, the effects are noticeable right away. Time saved by using AI models can be allocated toward creative or complex tasks, or to support colleagues in their work. Decisions can be made more quickly based on processed data. Error rates decrease because AI can point out inconsistencies and supplement missing information. This leads to higher productivity and greater satisfaction because the daily work routine is less dominated by routine tasks.
Humans and AI Working as a Team
The better employees understand what is possible with AI support, the better they can interact with it. That is why companies should provide technical training and specifically build AI skills in their teams. This means more than just refining the results of AI and meaningfully integrating them into work processes. It also means learning to critically question and regularly review AI statements. Failing to do so could lead to poor decision-making or inefficient work processes. Trained employees are aware of potential challenges when working with AI and know how to address them.
AI’s greatest added value therefore does not come from seeing it as a replacement for human labor, but rather as a partner. Employees contribute experience, contextual knowledge, and creativity, while AI provides automation, data analysis, and ideas. Together, they form a symbiosis: humans make informed decisions while AI provides necessary support.
Conclusion
Companies that invest in training and skills development for their teams in the field of AI gain efficiency, motivation, and creativity.
objectiF RPM supports this process by enabling you to configure your own AI assistants and integrate them into existing workflows. This allows your teams to immediately reap the benefits of working with AI without dealing with interface issues or needing additional tools.
