why your franchise’s AI adoption is stuck in the mud
- “More profound than fire or electricity” (Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google)
- “The most transformative technology of the 21st century” (Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia)
Going back to the scenario with the computer and internet, you would be investing in teaching your team how to type, how to use the mouse, how to use a web browser, how to navigate the internet. You understood that building this organizational “intuition” was critical for scaling your franchise operations. Today, that same foundational investment is necessary for AI.
And that’s exactly where we are with AI. The equivalent of ‘typing and mouse skills’ today is AI literacy and intuition: knowing which models to use, how to prompt for optimal results, and how to utilize agents for basic automation. This uniform, foundational AI training for franchises is non-negotiable for system-wide success.
Here at Train In Your Lane, we passionately believe that prioritizing this foundational AI knowledge is the critical first step. Throwing individual AI use cases or specific applications at your team before they have the necessary AI intuition is putting the cart before the horse. We’ve spoken with numerous franchising leaders who explicitly confirmed this failure: they invested in a specific AI build, only to realize they had to immediately rewind and invest in basic AI literacy instead.
Educate first, then apply and transform. That is the Train In Your Lane approach. And we have seen it first-hand – that those organizations that invest in this necessary baseline education to build AI intuition are those that are leading in their spaces.
