 but the long-run impact favors those who move first. Your edge isn’t knowing every tool; it’s knowing where to apply them for leverage. Goldman Sachs: What’s actually happening (not hype): Large language models compress “busywork” (summaries, drafts, lookups) into seconds. Leaders who implement these tasks see faster cycles and fewer errors. Stanford HAI+1 The transition will be bumpy (short-term displacement), then productivity and new roles expand. Your plan must cover now (cashflow) and next (skills). Goldman Sachs Your 30-day plan: Map 5 repetitive tasks → route them to an AI copilot with human approval gates. Productize one outcome (e.g., “inbox triage + reply drafts within 2h”) instead of selling hours. Collect proof weekly (before/after time saved, errors reduced) and raise rates or value. Install guardrails (disclosure, audit log, sensitive-data rules) so trust rises with speed. Stanford HAI
