Monday morning, honestly
Why most AI adoption stalls in small teams: no owner, no decision, no second week.
The Makia Playbook for Small Business Owners
The game gets your team to decisions. The book is the method behind them — written for owners of small businesses who have no AI department, no budget for one, and a Monday morning to get through. Same five phases, same 55 cards, with the reasoning, the examples and the failure modes the deck can only hint at.
Why most AI adoption stalls in small teams: no owner, no decision, no second week.
Finding the meaning and the actors before the tools. What the business actually does all day.
Running the divergent half without drowning in ideas nobody will build.
The smallest thing you can put in front of a real customer or a real colleague this week.
Impact, alignment and the honest questions that kill a bad pilot early.
Turning one working experiment into a process the team keeps running without you.
All 55 cards, when to play them, and the conversations each one is designed to force.
“Monday morning, honestly” — why AI adoption stalls in small teams, and the three questions that unstick it. We will send it over, and let you know once the full playbook is out.
No account, nothing to install. Run the five phases with your team, leave with decisions that have names on them — then read the book to understand why it worked.
