SUMMARY:2026 Getting Your Business AI Ready
DESCRIPTION:Why documenting your processes is the first step to automation\, efficiency and growth by using AI.\n\n \n\n\nEveryone is talking about AI\, but what if the real challenge isn't finding the right tool\, it's knowing what can benefit from the use of AI in the first place?\n\nIn this practical\, hands-on workshop\, you'll learn a simple framework for identifying the repetitive tasks and processes in your business that are costing you time\, creating bottlenecks\, or relying too heavily on what's stored in someone's head. Through a live demonstration\, you'll see how a real Quinte Est business process is documented\, broken down into individual steps\, and evaluated to determine whether it should be automated\, turned into a checklist\, improved\, or simply left alone. Sometimes\, a human touch is the best option.  \n\nThis session is designed for small business owners\, managers\, and team members who want to work more efficiently without feeling overwhelmed by technology jargon. No technical knowledge is required. The focus is on practical business processes\, not becoming an AI expert. \n\nWhat You'll Learn\n\n\n	Why documentation is the foundation of successful AI integration\n	How to identify processes that are wasting time or creating risk\n	A simple decision-making framework for determining what should and shouldn't be automated through AI\n	How to break complex tasks into manageable\, repeatable steps\n	Where tools like AI\, checklists\, shared documents\, and automation platforms fit into your workflow\n\n\nWhat You'll Take Away\n\n\n	A practical framework for evaluating your own business processes\n	A copy of the Process Decision Grid\n	An editable process documentation template\n	Real-world examples you can apply in your business immediately\n	Resources and next steps to help you improve efficiency with confidence \n\n\nWhether you're a solopreneur or managing a growing team\, this session will help you uncover hidden opportunities to save time\, reduce frustration\, and build processes that support growth.\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW! FREE TO ATTEND! Space is limited.\n\nThis event is part of the 2026 BOQ Small Business Week | October 19-23
