The SmartWork AI Playbook - T2

The SmartWork AI Playbook by AtabeyX — Tool 2: Building an AI Adoption Strategy – AI Competencies & Team Alignment, serves as a practical, structured guide to help organizations and teams develop a realistic and effective approach to AI integration.

In business environments where teams face an overwhelming number of applications, existing tech stacks with built-in AI capabilities, and inconsistent levels of AI knowledge among members, this tool addresses core barriers to adoption. It enables teams to systematically map daily tasks and processes to both internal AI features and the most relevant complementary external tools, assess the group's current AI competencies (identifying strengths, gaps, and proficiency levels), and create a targeted action plan for upskilling, training, and tool acquisition.

By aligning stakeholders around shared priorities, closing knowledge gaps, and focusing investments on high-impact solutions rather than chasing every new tool, teams can boost productivity, enhance collaboration, automate routine work, and drive measurable business value — turning AI awareness into sustainable, organization-wide capability. To use it, start by inventorying your team's tasks and existing tools, conduct a quick competency audit, match needs to capabilities, and build a prioritized training and implementation roadmap.
