Three Methods for Success with AI. Your Guide to Personal Change

Welcome to a world where artificial intelligence in the workplace is no longer just a futuristic concept—it’s becoming a powerful tool for fundamental transformation. In this article, I share ideas based on the first inspiring session of the “AI Your Way” online series, which Booster of Innovation organised. If you’re interested in artificial intelligence, want to learn how to use AI for your development, and are looking for practical ways to apply this technology, AI Your Way is for you.

Our first session focused on a highly relevant topic: “Your Professional Transformation with AI.” In today’s fast-changing world, the ability to consciously adapt and use new technologies—in areas such as business, career development, or HR—is becoming essential. Many professionals in Poland are asking how to prepare for the professional shift AI brings, what impact it will have on the job market, and what changes AI will bring to work.

In this article, I summarise the three key approaches to transforming your work with AI, as presented in the webinar. These methods will help you understand how AI affects your job, how to begin your professional AI journey, and what your AI-supported career path might look like.

If you want to actively shape your professional future and take a strategic approach to integrating artificial intelligence into your daily responsibilities, read on. You’ll discover three actionable strategies that offer a fresh perspective on AI at work—and help you begin your unique transformation.

Method 1: The AI Task Map – Examine Your Current Role

The first step in your professional AI transformation is to understand how artificial intelligence could truly impact your daily responsibilities. Before planning significant changes, it’s essential to answer this question: How can I build an AI task map for my current job? The goal is carefully analysing your role and identifying areas where AI can become your ally. It’s crucial to shape your AI journey consciously.

Start by reviewing your current tasks. Which ones are strategic, analytical, research-based, or repetitive? Do you see opportunities for AI here? Don’t think only about automation—read more in our article on AI Myths and Half-Truths. Ask yourself: What tasks do I already perform that could be enhanced with AI? These might include working with data, preparing reports, or finding information. Then consider: What tasks am I not doing now but could do with AI? Technology often opens doors to projects we previously lacked time or resources.

Finally, assess the potential. Identify where AI could make a huge difference—improving processes and transforming how you work. Creating a detailed AI task map is your first concrete step towards future-proofing your career and answering the question: How do I prepare for professional transformation with AI?

Method 2: The Technology Slider – Find Your Balance with AI

Once you have your AI task map, the next step is to define how deeply you want to integrate AI into your work. Planning your career with AI isn’t about chasing trends but making smart, intentional decisions. Imagine a “technology slider”—a tool that helps you determine the optimal level of collaboration between humans and machines. It’s your role to design your unique value at work and develop a personal AI strategy.

At one end of the slider is full technologisation—tasks that AI can handle entirely, often faster and more efficiently. On the other hand, functions that are done best by humans, such as emotional intelligence, creativity, and relationship-building, are irreplaceable—especially where people still prefer human touch. In between lies the hybrid model—a dynamic blend of human strengths and technological support.

This slider helps you discover where your most significant potential lies. Your task is to consciously position yourself on the slider for different aspects of your work, deciding which model best suits your profession, values, and long-term goals. Finding your place on the “technology slider” is the foundation for building a long-term strategy for using AI in your career and workplace.

Method 3: My AI Strategy – Design Your #AIYourWay Career

Now that you’ve created a task map and found your position on the technology slider, it’s time to turn your reflections into a clear action plan—your AI strategy. This stage allows you to design your professional future with AI and answer the question: How do I build a personal AI strategy for my career? The key is to realise that a successful AI strategy doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of thoughtful decisions.

We use a proven decision-making framework built on three pillars to facilitate this process: must, want, and won’t.

• MUST: Where do you have to use AI? What’s already standard practice in your industry? What will soon become necessary to stay competitive? These are non-negotiables your strategy must include.

• WANT: Where do you see opportunities for AI to improve the quality of your work and make it more unique? Which tools and processes could help you stand out in the market? Here, you build your competitive edge by combining your strengths with AI.

• WON’T: Where do you choose not to use AI? What tasks do you want to handle personally to preserve your human touch? What would be inappropriate or unethical to delegate to AI in your industry? This reflection is vital for staying authentic to your values.

Your answers will help you define where, how much, when, and why AI will be part of your work. The result is a clear, personal plan that makes you the architect of your AI-powered career—not just a passive observer of tech trends.
