In an undergraduate class, students act as consultants to develop business models, now enhanced by AI tools like ChatGPT. While AI can generate initial ideas quickly, the focus shifts to refining these outputs through critical questioning. Educators must adapt by teaching students to evaluate AI responses, ask specific questions, and identify assumptions. This approach emphasizes the importance of iteration and critical thinking in leveraging AI for innovation, applicable to both students and professionals.

Just like in yoga, achieving innovation in business requires patience, preparation, and consistency. This post explores how SMEs can sustain innovation momentum by breaking down goals into achievable steps, using structured sprints to navigate uncertainty, and gradually building toward transformative change—much like mastering a challenging yoga pose with the right warm-up.

This article explores the limitation of the “done for you” consulting model and highlights the benefits of a collaborative “do it with you” approach for achieving lasting transformations.

The "do it with you" consulting model is ideal for SMEs, addressing their unique challenges and leveraging their strengths by fostering a culture of innovation, empowering teams, and ensuring sustainable growth through structured methodologies and collaborative engagement.

SME owners can maximize the benefits of the 'do it with you' consulting approach by committing resources, building the right team, maintaining open communication, and embracing flexibility and innovation. Active involvement and strategic planning are key to fostering a culture of sustained innovation and growth.

The "do it with you" consulting model combines guidance with collaboration, helping clients gain the skills and confidence needed for sustained innovation through lean experimentation and structured support.

When a client remarked, "Let's quickly finish Dr. Yong's project," it highlighted a common view that structured methodologies like lean experimentation are restrictive. However, this structured approach actually drives focus, sustains momentum, mitigates risks, and provides clarity, transforming how SMEs innovate and achieve long-term success.

The 2024 SME Conference “Unleashing the Potential of AI for Business Growth” highlighted numerous AI tools and business use case. Despite their seeming ease of use, AI adoption at present largely remains limited to individual applications rather than transformative business-wide changes. This blog explores a multi-pronged approach—focusing on education, emotional engagement, and environmental adjustments—to help SMEs overcome these barriers and successfully integrate AI into their business.
