How to Build an AI First Business | What AI-First Thinking Means for SME Development & Growth
In this episode of The Cutting Edge, Susan Moloisane (CEO of Edge Growth Solutions) sits down with AI expert Tanye ver Loren van Themaat and Jason Krause (CEO of Art of Scale - an AI-powered business scaling platform).
Collectively, they break down why South African SMEs can't afford to wait on AI adoption and provide actionable steps to start integrating and building AI-powered systems into your business that can deliver 10X growth - even if you know little about AI right now.
This strategy-packed discussion covers:
↳ Why businesses that delay AI adoption will permanently fall behind competitors (and how this affects employee retention)
↳ How to identify AI-ready employees who can drive transformation from within your organisation
↳ Simple frameworks for mapping your business systems before implementing AI solutions
↳ Why AI implementation requires rethinking your entire business model, not just adding technology
↳ The critical shift from "technology as afterthought" to "technology-first problem solving"
↳ How investors should evaluate businesses based on their digital transformation readiness
↳ Practical tools for teaching employees systems thinking and critical judgment in an AI environment.
🟢 Ideal for South African business owners, leaders, executives and investors in SME development who need practical strategies to implement AI without getting overwhelmed.
