AI For Workplace Productivity: The ‘10,20,70’ Model

If I ask you in everyday tasks how much percentage you are dependent on AI based tools, what would you answer? No this is not an assessment of your capabilities of using modern age tools—Nor this is a test where you will find the dependency on artificial intelligence.

This is simply an article helping you to understand the strategic partnership between AI and Human. A partnership that explores AI for workplace productivity. Which will allow businesses to evolve and serve the modern market in a better way.

AI Plus Human a Strategic Partnership

A ‘strategic partnership’ here refers to businesses understanding all the possibilities to onboard AI into their team. Think of it as a collaborative team player.

It is quite obvious that every individual is trying to make use of AI in various ways, however the problem is the simple text you see at the bottom of every tool or AI based product you are using; “AI can make mistakes”.

  • Even a Forbes survey indicated that 76% of consumers are concerned about the mistake AI makes while providing information. However on the other hand the AI market is projected to reach $407 billion by 2027. 

So one might say people are ready to use AI despite the concerns? No, its people and particularly businesses are eager to explore and leverage AI, discover its true potential.

What does this mean for their workforce? Well let’s look at it from a statistical perspective;

  • The rise of AI startups was vastly explored in late 2018 and 90% of these AI startups were already targeting the enterprise market rather than consumers.
  • Complementing this resolute effort businesses were interested. As stated 97% of businesses were affirmative that Open AI’s ChaptGPT will enable their business.

The question is ‘Why?’ businesses are passionate about integrating AI into their operations. Well primarily there are three reasons that were discovered which authorized this strategic partnership.

  1. Playing Intelligently: By automating your everyday operations, processes, and tasks you can gain an intelligent advantage over your competitors. The dilemma lies in choosing the right AI.
  • For example: Digital agencies can make use of Gen AI in a myriad of ways. From brainstorming content ideas to planning ahead of schedule for their clientele, they will be ready to make a difference.
  1. Retrieving What is Yours: Intelligent collaborative workspaces are allowed to reclaim their time. Time which can be used for strategizing, building, and developing something that will prove valuable for them to survive in cut throat competition.
  • For example: Think of preparing a 360° sales pitch which you always wanted to but your current working model stole your valuable time. It allows you to target your goals in a distinctly innovative manner.
    This is what digital agencies always wanted to adopt, being better so their business prospects look stable.
  1. Learning Progressively: Stabilizing your current working model does bring advantages on the other hand there are risks involved. A stale approach addresses risks first and It will surely help you to gain a profitable outcome but it limits your ability to experiment. I mean exploring stable aggression in business approach and working model. 
  • For Example: Leveraging AI’s LLM, teams can engage in targeted skill building activities to foster continuous learning.

The reason is developing new skills for keeping up with the trends becomes more crucial to such organizations.

Hence an enhanced collaborative learning environment where AI is successfully integrated for the benefits of employees in a reasonable way.

Here the aim is nurturing a skilled workforce rather than replacing individuals for cost effectiveness and productivity.

What is the 10,20,70 Model for Organization?

Yes! It’s about algorithms and humans.No! The model is not a brand new AI chip which enhances your current LLM models. It’s about leveraging the present LLM models to become agile and efficient in a competitive market. 

The model reflects the implementation of strategic partnership between AI and humans in a comprehensive manner.

The 10,20,70 model for business refers to businesses approaching to deploy AI plus Human into your present workforce. Deploying AI plus Human is about:

  • 10% is in the coding algorithms.
  • 20% is building tech around those algorithms.
  • 70% is integrating AI with Human expertise for better organizational workflow.

The essence is in the co-dependency. To eliminate risks, which later lead to major setbacks for the decision makers of digital agencies. At last achieving a stable aggression business model promptly.

Recently as the age of AI is slowly building its place into the market, organizations identified three major problems. These are the problems their teams face while encountering the current development phases pivoting towards AI.

  • Q1. Skills Gap: How to focus on AI adoption and integration for improving team performance and boosting their morale with an advanced tool?
  • Q2. Productivity Issue: How to improve decision making approach resulting in less routine tasks and increased project completion rate?
  • Q3. Communication Challenges: How to help their teams by reducing communication barriers and increasing satisfaction?

Implementing AI for Workplace Productivity

Now that industry experts have identified the problems and questions, it’s time to find answers. Well the answer is as we already know keeping up with the modern market. And as observed, the modern market is being propelled by artificial intelligence enabled software, tools, services, and Saas products. 

A neat execution strategy to implement AI for your workplace includes three primary phases.

  1. Training Programs: Well structured learning initiatives that do not disrupt your operations. Instead it should help your employees level up. 

Skills, knowledge and competencies play crucial roles in your team’s development. Once polished it right way addresses the bottlenecks your organization may face in terms of performance.

  1. Tool Integration: Another crucial foundational ability observed in modern businesses is how well they utilize data to create, collaborate, and communicate. For this they might use a tool, helping them seamlessly navigate through this foundational ability. 

These tools help your team to form a close interconnected digital ecosystem, complex yet cohesive. It eliminates manual labor required for redundant tasks and silos within organizations which have become a greater cause of friction.

  1. Workflow Automation: Organization does involve a certain amount of repetitive tasks. And no region, product, or industry niche has nothing to with it. The birth of repetitive tasks took place as people started focusing on administrative and organizing efforts.

Here workflow automation comes into play as It was surveyed that 7 in 10 global office workers are dealing with burdened repetitive tasks. A cohesive effort that involves AI as a team player focuses on eliminating such repetitive tasks.

Why Do You Need AI for Workplace Productivity?

Let’s take an example of digital agencies to make you understand the benefits of using AI at a workplace.

  • Cost Reduction in Operations: Implementing an automated workflow environment can reduce the burden on your workforce which involves mundane and repetitive tasks.

These processes are highly crucial and the platforms I am talking about can help you save cost through improving productivity and cutting down manual labor.

It enables you to step into the pool of next benefits which agencies do understand but are afraid to approach due to the fast paced market.

  • Increase in Innovation Capabilities: Gathering valuable insights about a particular niche or exploring a niche which is slowly making its way to market. Getting early access to such innovative practices is always a trump card.
  • For Example: A data driven approach, strategies helping you to stay ahead of trends. Which is again talked about a lot of times but honestly do companies have any idea how to implement it?

I am not saying it’s impossible, but rather a complex matter for companies who are in a trial and error phase. By utilizing AI for workplace productivity you can creatively strategies impactful campaigns for your clientele conveniently.

This involves finalizing a data driven approach with the help of agency experts and implementing it through your operations. 

  • Better Resources Allocation: People are already way past the debate of AI replacing humans. As the mist dissipates, people have understood how working together with AI is the right equation.
  • Benefits:
    • Intelligently assigning tasks, optimizing workflow, and tracking project progress with the help of creating custom bots and using prompt libraries.
  • Leading to efficient resource utilization and progressing in project timeline ahead of schedule.
  • Enhancing project management, collaborations, and ultimately increase in the rate of client satisfaction.

Time for Trust or Truth?

Slowly moving towards integrating AI for workplace productivity does not make us lazy. I believe it makes us better innovators, smart decision makers, and bold venturers.

From punch cards to computers, and now AI we have come a long way in terms of understanding and using data. Collectively the target remains the same we focus on adopting and advancing forward. 

Yes precaution is necessary and also I am not undermining the ‘still unknown” gray area of AI.

However, learning is one of the most imperative elements as we begin the integration of AI in our organization through Gen AI tools, AI SaaS products, or other disruptive means. 

The next ability is to focus on collaborative effort in terms of implementation. A strategic partnership between AI and Human following the 10,20,70 model. Well needless to say it is time to trust our ideas and unveil an ultimate truth.
