Generative AI has been a huge help for a growing number of business owners. While large businesses tend to lead the pack in artificial intelligence adoption, very small businesses — those with just 1 to 4 employees — have also been using AI tools at relatively high rates, according to new analysis by the Census Bureau.

It is clearly a polarizing example, but it underscores one important fact for many large organizations: We can operate leaner and more effectively. We can accomplish more if we strip away the superficial busyness that often adds no value. Going back to the basics With so much…
