BAST

The Patron

Pays for it, then leaves people to it.

The business chose a tool and pays for it, then steps back and trusts people to use it well. Use grows slowly and quietly. Nobody is checking how it's used, or whether it's helping.

Superpower

Calm, steady adoption, with no pressure and no drama.

Blind spot

Nobody knows what's working, what's going in, or who quietly stopped using it.

Next move

Name someone to own AI, set simple rules, and find out where it's actually used.

The four letters

  • B Business-led (who started it)
    The business chose to bring AI in, and chose how.
  • A Assistant (where ai sits)
    AI sits beside the work. People ask it for help, then carry on.
  • S Steady (how fast it moves)
    One change at a time, and see how it goes.
  • T Trust (how it's checked)
    People are trusted to use it sensibly. Light rules, few checks.
