Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just an ultramodern concept; it’s a powerful tool that can help you perform well at your workplace. The usage of AI can help you to drive efficiency, improve your decision-making ability, and bring more innovation to work, which is a key requirement of companies in today’s times. In this blog post, we will briefly discuss, with examples, how you can bring significant value to your workplace by utilizing AI.
1. Automating Repetitive Tasks
AI can take over your repetitive and routine tasks. You can utilize AI to fulfill these tasks without spending much time on them. You can then utilize this extra time to focus on more strategic and creative work. Tasks such as data entry, scheduling, and basic customer service can be automated using AI-powered tools like chatbots and robotic process automation (RPA). Many companies do not hire people for these jobs, as you are aware that companies need professionals who bring creativity that can have a long-term benefit to the company rather than ordinary workers who are just involved in routine tasks.
Example
Many companies install and implement an AI chatbot for customer service that can handle common queries 24/7, reducing response times and allowing customer service agents to deal with more complex issues instead of just answering user queries.
The most common example that I have experienced is the use of chatbot by many service provider companies, e.g., hosting companies like Hostinger and others, banking services, telecom (Orange, Play, Labara, Lycia phone, T-Mobile, etc.), where your first interaction is with the chatbot to answer your query regarding any service. If the issue is not solved or answered by the chatbot, then it will automatically lead to a customer service representative.
2. Enhancing Data Analysis and Decision-Making
AI can easily analyze your large datasets quickly and accurately; it also shows patterns and insights that might be missed by you as an analyst. By leveraging AI for data analysis, you can make more informed decisions based on this real-time data.
Example
For example, you can use AI for sales forecasting, where AI can easily predict future sales trends with greater accuracy, which can help you optimize inventory levels and improve financial planning for the future.
It does mean you cannot do this because AI is a new technology, and before that, employees did such forecasts by themselves, but of course, it consumed more time, and you spent your time and energy predicting your future sales using the data and numbers available to you. While AI can do this quickly and more efficiently as compared to humans, it saves you a couple of hours to spend on more creative tasks that bring more value to your company.
3. Personalizing Customer Experiences
If you are working in the sales department of your company, then you are, of course, aware that AI can analyze customer behavior and preferences to deliver personalized experiences more efficiently than you. This can significantly improve your customer satisfaction and loyalty by ensuring that each customer interaction is relevant and matches their needs more effectively. AI can fulfill these tasks more efficiently, which means AI can not just improve your sales but also enable you to perform well in the sales department by working on personal engagement with your client base, which is not possible for AI to do as AI lacks the soft skills and emotions that you can use if you work in sales and marketing.
Example
As you already know, many e-commerce platforms can use AI to recommend products based on a customer’s past purchases and browsing history to increase sales. Even many social media platforms, e.g., Facebook, Instagram, and the most recent platform, TikTok, only show and offer you products and services that you like and are interested in. This is what I experienced a year ago, but now things are more updated and advanced, and AI can work efficiently in this area as compared to the past. So the point here is that AI can manage things more efficiently and allow you to spend more time on personal engagement and communication with your valued clients.
4. Improving Marketing Strategies
No doubt, AI can enhance your marketing efforts by identifying the most effective channels and messages to reach your target audience. Machine learning algorithms can analyze the performance of your past campaigns and optimize your future ones for better results. This will not just save you time but also give you a better result.
Example
You can use AI to segment your customer base more accurately and adapt your marketing messages and offers to different groups, improving conversion rates and ROI. As a product and service provider, your main task is, of course, to reach your target group, which will not just reduce your costs but also increase your sales if it exactly reaches your target people. This clearly indicates that you can make it possible with the help of AI within a short period of time.
5. Advancing Innovation & Product Development
In today’s world, you have a lot of advanced AI available that can efficiently analyze market trends, customer feedback, and competitive products to identify opportunities for innovation. If you use this properly, you can instantly accelerate your product development cycles, bring new products to market faster, and gain a competitive edge over your competitors. The more you work on innovation, whether you are working for a multinational company or running your own business, the more you generate revenue for your company or business by offering your customers more innovative products or services.
Example
If you are advanced in using AI, then you should know how to use AI to analyze customer reviews and feedback to identify common pain points and areas for improvement in your products or services. As a result, your efforts as a manager in R&D will be more innovative and bring more value to your company over a period of time, which will of course be appreciated by your company.
6. Providing Advanced Tech Solutions
Whether you are an IT specialist, data analyst, programmer, or software engineer, you are of course aware of different AI models that can make things easier for you as an IT professional as compared to the past, when you spent a lot of time programming and analyzing large amounts of data manually or through the use of different tools. However, AI will make it easier for you and give you a more advanced and quick solution at work if you use it properly.
Example
if you are a programmer for your company or analyzing the data that your boss has given you. You can handle this given task more efficiently with the help of AI. The most common example is coding or programming, where you need to be more proactive, and if you face any issue during the process, you can easily find a solution with a few clicks by using AI. So AI makes things easier for you as an IT professional as compared to the past, when things were more complicated and needed more time and attention.
7. Facilitating Efficiency in Remote Work
With the rise of remote or hybrid work, especially after Pendamic, where many of you work remotely from home, AI can help you maintain productivity and collaboration more efficiently, even when working from different places. With the help of AI-powered tools that can assist you in project management, solving issues remotely through online support teams, and fulfilling tasks more smoothly,
Example
There are many advanced cloud-based solutions as well as HR technology stacks made by AI that you, as a team leader or manager, can use to analyze remote work patterns and provide insights into how to optimize workflows and communication, especially when other team members are working remotely from different places. This will help you and your remote teams to be more productive, even if you work remotely and do not have the option to work on-site.
To Sum up, the Keynote
With the arrival of AI, companies are focusing more on creativity and innovation among their employees, as AI can accomplish many things easily, especially if we talk about repetitive tasks where companies do not need much human involvement. Under this circumstance, if you utilize AI and gain expertise in using AI, you can advance your professional career and bring true value to the workplace.
However, it is important to use these technologies effectively. It doesn’t matter which area or field you belong to or are working in. The key is to advance yourself with AI. If you succeed in doing this, then AI will surely become your powerful companion to achieve long-term success at work.
What is the bottom line?
The bottom line is very simple: AI can help you advance your career further and make you more innovative and creative if you use it. In today’s world, if you are creative and bring value to your company, then you will be considered a highly valuable asset to your company.
