Faster, Cheaper, Better: How AI Actually Delivers Value (And Where It Doesn't)
Pick two: faster, cheaper, or better. AI rarely delivers all three - but knowing which two matter most is how you avoid wasting money and actually get value.
Faster, Cheaper, Better...
Pick two.
We care about getting things done faster.
We care about not wasting money.
We care about better outcomes for our customers.
AI is just a thing that might help with that. Or might not.
And that's fine. That's honest. That's how it should be.
Because here's what nobody's telling us: AI isn't special. It's a tool. Like any tool, it works brilliantly in some situations and terribly in others.
The question isn't "should we use AI?"
The question is "will AI make us faster, cheaper, or better - and which of those actually matters?"
Let's be clear about something.
We might not be able to have all three. Not everywhere. Not always.
Sometimes AI makes things faster and cheaper and better. That's rare. That's the jackpot. And it only happens in very specific situations.
More often, you get two out of three:
And sometimes - more often than anyone admits - you get none of them. Because the situation doesn't fit.
The businesses that waste money on AI? They don't know which situation they're in. They just know "everyone's doing AI."
The ones that succeed? They know exactly which two they're optimising for. And they're honest about the trade-off.
What's Next?
Talk to us about what actually matters to you and your business (and we'll see if we can help make it all three!)
We'll tell you honestly if AI can deliver them. And if it can't, we'll tell you that too.
Move it.
