💡 Let’s talk about the messy middle of AI adoption. We loved this perspective from Allie K. Miller. The transition to widespread AI adoption is here—and yes, it’s going to be messy. But messy is where the magic happens. At Ampersand, we’re focused on helping organizations navigate this middle ground, turning chaos into clarity. Whether you're cautiously experimenting or diving in headfirst, we believe the key to success is in finding practical, actionable solutions that meet you where you are. The shift Allie describes—moving from doing to overseeing AI-driven processes—is exactly the kind of transformation we want to help our clients tackle. AI adoption doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With the right strategy, you can take meaningful steps forward today. So, how are you approaching this transition? Ready to start making the messy middle a little less messy?
