Most businesses bring AI in too late.

They wait until they're halfway through a process, then ask AI to fix the messy part they've already built around. The right approach is actually simple. Start at the ideation stage instead. Tell AI the situation, the impact and the inefficiency, then work through the options with it before you lock anything in.

Are you automating a process that was done too late? We'd love to know your thoughts!

Your team's text sign-in codes are being switched off.

Microsoft is retiring SMS and phone-call verification for Microsoft 365. Anyone whose only verification method is a text or a call will be blocked from signing in once the cut-off passes.

Why Microsoft is doing this:

◾ SIM-swap scams make text codes easy to intercept
◾ Phishing kits capture text codes in real time
◾ Passkeys and Authenticator are far harder to bypass
◾ Staff on Authenticator already are unaffected

The part worth acting on now: staff who set themselves up this week choose when it happens. Staff who wait get stopped at sign-in on a Monday morning, usually when they have the least time to deal with it.

February might sound far away, but the longer you leave it, the more your business will feel the pressure soon.

SherpaTech asks every client where their data is. Then, they asked themselves the same question.

Most insurance firms never audit their own systems, but SherpaTech did, and found client data sitting in old emails and personal drives their previous IT provider never flagged.

Working with FusionRed, they mapped every system, fixed how data is stored, and trained their team to spot threats, so the standard they hold clients to is the standard they run on.

Would you pass the audit you ask your clients to pass? Most businesses avoid the question until a breach answers it for them.

Talk to our experts and find out where your sensitive client data lives:

"Your price is what lost that deal"

That's where most business leaders are wrong. By the time price comes up, the buyer has already decided. The loss happened much earlier. In how you opened, what you asked, or what you failed to follow up on.

In our webinar last month, Ross Keating from NexTree Business Growth Consultancy walked through exactly where deals actually die and how to stop it. We turned it into a free playbook, and you can get it here:

Fun fact: AI works better when it stops waiting to be asked.

What do we mean?

Most AI sits there until someone types into it, so it only does work when you have time to hand it work. Rick Baird from Pivot Advisory Group joins FusionTalk tomorrow to show how AI moves from answering questions to running the work on its own, and where the ROI shows up in hours saved each week.

Tomorrow at 11:30 am, see how you can make AI work like an actual employee:

Most use AI like a smarter search bar.

You ask it a question, you get an answer, you move on. That's exactly why businesses don't get great returns out of their AI tools.

Rick Baird from Pivot Advisory Group joins FusionTalk this Thursday to show the shift that changes the result: setting a task once and letting AI run it for days, so the work happens without anyone chasing it.

Three days left, with only a few spots left. Register today!

If your one AI tool could perform like a team of five, do you think your business would progress faster?

The real reason AI sits idle is not the tool. No one was made responsible for the result, so the team quietly went back to the old way of working. Rick Baird from Pivot Advisory Group joins FusionTalk to show how one clear owner turns AI into a member of the team.

In this session, you'll find out:

◾ Why AI stalls without one clear owner
◾ How the team slips back to old habits
◾ What an AI owner actually does day to day
◾ How to build AI into real daily work
