Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure adopting new tech is as smooth-sailing as possible. </p><h3 class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_heading-sm__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="--TypographyColor:#13002d"><b>Assessing AI readiness</b></h3><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">A large part of AI’s effectiveness is using it at the right time for your business. So how can you tell if your business is ready to adopt AI? There are four key ways to assess whether your business is ready to incorporate AI into your budgeting process: </p><ul><li><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem"><b>Team:</b> Before adopting AI tools, it’s worth checking in with your team to assess their workloads. How much time are team members dedicating to specific budgeting tasks? Do they feel they need time freed up to focus on other elements of planning your event? </p></li><li><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem"><b>Time:</b> This is a crucial consideration before adopting AI. Since it will take your team time to learn to use a new tool, it is worth timing your adoption point correctly. It may be best to introduce it at the beginning of budgeting, rather than interrupting a process that is already underway. </p></li><li><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem"><b>Manual tasks:</b> How much time is your team spending on manual tasks? It may be useful to assess how much time is spent on manual data entry, such as cost calculations or revenue estimates, and consider if adopting AI could better streamline these processes. </p></li><li><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem"><b>Event size:</b> Your budgeting process may be manageable for the current size and scale of your events, but it might be worth considering adopting AI if you decide to grow your business. If you’re planning to <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/blog/reconvene-sessions-recap-expanding-events/"><u>scale your events</u></a> — for instance, to a national or international level — AI can take care of your budget, so you can focus on expanding.</p></li></ul><h3 class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_heading-sm__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="--TypographyColor:#13002d"><b>Choosing the right AI solutions</b></h3><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">Secondly, AI’s effectiveness is dependent on its use — and that means choosing the <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/blog/event-planning-templates/"><u>right tools</u></a>. There are three key considerations to selecting the right AI solutions: </p><ul><li><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem"><b>Features: </b>It may sound obvious, but make sure the tool you choose has the features you need. To do this, consider where your team spends the most time — this might be sourcing quotes from <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/blog/social-media-influencer-strategy-events-ds00/"><u>influencers</u></a>, inputting costs, or balancing your expenses with your sales — then search for tools with these features. </p></li><li><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem"><b>Existing programs:</b> Most AI programs will be able to connect to other software, but it may be worth conducting an audit of your current tools, apps, and programs to check whether your AI tool will complement your current programs and workflows. </p></li><li><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem"><b>Cost: </b>You’ll be using AI to streamline your budgeting, so don’t forget to consider the cost of the AI tool itself. Research different pricing plans from a range of tools to compare their cost, as well as their features, to select the right option for your business. </p></li></ul><h3 class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_heading-sm__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="--TypographyColor:#13002d"><b>Training and adoption</b></h3><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">Once you have decided it’s the right time to implement AI, and you’ve chosen your program, it’s time to get your team up to speed. </p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">First, pick the right time for your training session. Ideally, this should be a lull period between events, or during a quiet season, when your team has the capacity to take on new information. It may also be at the very beginning of a new project, when your team will soon be strategizing a new budget. </p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">To conduct your training — whether this is via a <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/resources/event-planning/virtual-events/">virtual workshop</a> or <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/resources/event-planning/in-person-events/">in person</a> — make sure to gather all of the relevant team members together. Run through the tasks your team will be using the tool for, such as running predictive analytics or pulling together a specific budget, and make sure to leave plenty of time for questions. </p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem"></p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">By implementing AI-powered budgeting into your operations, you can reap the rewards of data-driven financial decisions — whether that’s using predictive analytics for your future event figures or smart cost-saving opportunity features. </p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">With AI tools at your fingertips, you can generate accurate budgets for your event at record speed — leaving you free to focus your energies on creative planning and event strategy to delight your audience. </p><h2 class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_heading-md__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="--TypographyColor:#13002d"><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h2><h3 class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_heading-sm__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="--TypographyColor:#13002d"><b>Can I use AI to create a budget?</b></h3><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">AI can be used to create streamlined budgets quickly and efficiently.
