    Do Humans & AI work better together or alone? Surprising MIT findings

    MIT study reveals when human-AI collaboration excels and where it falls short, urging organizations to rethink AI’s role in creative and decision-making tasks. The report, published in Nature Human Behaviour, unveils findings that add nuance to our understanding of when human-AI partnerships can truly excel. Conducted by CCI affiliate Michelle Vaccaro and MIT Sloan School of Management professors Abdullah Almaatouq and Thomas Malone, the study raises thought-provoking questions about AI’s role in today’s workplace and beyond. For years, the vision of human-AI synergy has driven organizations to integrate AI into processes, assuming it would enhance performance across the board. However, this comprehensive analysis of 370 different outcomes from 106 experiments reveals a more complex picture. Rather than proving universally beneficial, human-AI collaboration sometimes falters, especially in decision-making tasks. However, the study found these partnerships often shine in creative pursuits, indicating potential for future applications that prioritize human ingenuity alongside AI’s technical prowess. #ai #gtm #marketing #b2b #aihumans

    Quarterly Product Market Fit Analysis Is A Good Idea

    How often does your company review your product market fit? The reality is most companies rarely review and analyze their product market fit. 1. Begin by talking to your current customers↳ Don't just send them a survey, actually, jump on a Zoom call. 2. Take a hard look at quarterly trends↳ It's always a good idea to analyze macro & micro trends in your market 3. Use multiple team members to analyze data ↳ Don't conduct product market fit reviews in a vacuum. The more eyes on the data the better. If you're looking to conduct a product market fit review and need some advice feel free to DM me.

    Driving Revenue With B2B Social Media - Why Don't More B2B Businesses Use These Channels?

    One of the most important strategies of just about any B2B business is its social media channels. So why do so many B2B brands avoid a regular posting cadence? Certainly, the answers to this question are different for every company. Still, the main reason tends to revolve around a devalued opinion of the effectiveness of social media channels on their bottom line. Most management teams do not connect the dots between social media and revenue. Ask yourself this question: Why do some businesses have developer advocates? The companies that do recognize how important it is for their brand to build a relationship with their target market within the confines of the channels they use. Social media channels like LinkedIn, YouTube, Meta, and even X provide companies with additional channels for brand exposure and revenue. Each of these channels also comes fully loaded with effective ad networks, which make creating brand awareness easier if you have the budget. Consider how much your team may spend on a trade show; once you factor in all the costs, you are looking at a spend between $25k and $100k plus. Now, take half of that spend and run a social media test on any of the social media channels I mentioned; I'm willing to bet you will receive 5 to 10 times what you would have received at a trade show from a QSL perspective. Posting on a regular basis is one thing, but it's the strategy behind that can turn your social media channels into one of the most important parts of your marketing mix.
