Artificial intelligence is no longer a buzzword—it's a competitive requirement. In this episode, Paul Gormley of CIRAS lays out a high-stakes roadmap for Iowa manufacturers. He challenges listeners to think differently about AI—not as a technology project, but as a strategic business decision that will determine who thrives and who falls behind. His three-question framework simplifies the complexity of AI and puts the focus back on value creation.
Gormley also warns against the most common trap: trying to do the same with fewer people. The winners, he says, will be those who use AI to expand what's possible, not just reduce costs. This is a must-listen episode for decision-makers who understand that future market share is being decided now. CIRAS is ready to help—but the first step is changing your mindset.
