Artificial intelligence isn’t just for tech giants anymore—it’s now a powerful driver of growth, efficiency, and competitive advantage for small and mid-sized businesses, too. But here’s the catch: not every company is ready to jump straight into AI.

At LB Business Development, we’ve seen organizations rush into automation without the right foundation—and end up frustrated when results don’t match the hype. That’s why we created a simple AI Readiness Checklist to help you determine if your business is prepared for success.

1. Is the business problem clear?

AI isn’t a magic wand. Before you invest, you need to know what problem you’re solving. Are you trying to reduce manual tasks, improve lead quality, or speed up customer service?
Clarity here is key—because AI aligned with real business goals is where you’ll see ROI.

2. Does your team have AI skills (or a partner who does)?

Even the best AI tool needs human direction. Ask yourself: do we have the skills in-house, or should we bring in an AI consultant?
At LB Business Development, we act as that partner—making AI practical, understandable, and actionable for business teams.

3. Is the data available and organized?

AI runs on data. If your data is scattered, outdated, or unstructured, your results will suffer.
A good AI strategy starts with cleaning and structuring the data you already have—often a goldmine hiding in plain sight.

4. Have you conducted a small pilot?

Big AI projects can overwhelm companies. Instead, start small: test one automation, one chatbot, or one predictive model.
That way, you can measure results, build confidence, and scale up with less risk.

Why This Matters

AI implementation is not just about technology—it’s about business transformation. The companies that succeed are the ones that approach it with a clear plan, a solid foundation, and the right guidance.

That’s where LB Business Development comes in. We don’t just talk about AI—we integrate it with your business strategy, from lead generation to automation to measurable ROI.

Bottom Line

If you answered “Yes” to most of the checklist items, congratulations—you’re ready to explore AI seriously. If not, don’t worry. The best time to prepare is now.
