Why was this AI webinar important?
Numerous companies today, especially those in Nigeria, have noticed industries shifting to more AI-friendly platforms and practices to streamline workflows. And while these companies can see its benefits, they might not know exactly how or why it would be important in their company specifically.
Flora Nnamaka buttresses this point, mentioning that “AI is not a trend. AI is, to the 21st century, what internet was in the 1900s… It’s shaping the future of businesses, human interaction, medicine, and every industry. That’s why we put this together.”
In her opening session, she mentioned that the topic of this webinar is especially important for companies that are:
- At the verge of making a decision about AI adoption
- Observing the changing patterns in industries across the board
- Keen about the benefits of AI adoption
- Unsure about how AI can directly help their operations
It’s safe to say that this AI webinar helped shine a light for companies that are keen on AI integration but don’t fully grasp how it fits into their operations.

Key highlights from the AI webinar for business decision makers
After the opening presentation by Flora Nnamaka, Ruby Ihekweme, the key speaker, took center stage, highlighting key considerations for AI adoption, especially in Nigeria. Here’s a breakdown of the key takeaways from the AI webinar:
1. AI is already being adopted by companies
The truth is, technology is constantly changing. But beyond just knowledge, it’s important that businesses apply these new concepts to streamline their operations. Based on research conducted by the CircleHQ company, AI is already being adopted in industries like sales, marketing, visibility, business operations, and content creation. This is because people have observed some repetitive actions in these areas, which can be tackled with AI.
In fact, industry leaders like Coca-Cola, Netflix, Amazon, Unilever, and Mastercard already recognize the importance of this shift and are already investing in it. This indicates that AI is becoming a global concept, and companies that don’t adapt early risk losing relevance in the future.
2. Before adoption, you have to evaluate how ready your company is for AI integration
While AI adoption is important, the last thing you want to do is rush into integration without considering how ready your company is for the process.
The AI webinar for business decision makers highlighted key questions to ask, such as the presence of repetitive processes as well as areas for optimization, before getting into operations.
3. Many companies are skeptical about AI adoption
Even though numerous companies across the world are integrating AI into their operations, a good number are still skeptical about applying it. These companies are mainly concerned about ethical considerations, safety, and the adaptability of businesses to these new systems. As a result, these companies are predisposed to AI misconceptions in business.
Our key speaker, Ruby, sheds more light on this. “Aside from the ethical level,” she mentioned, “Companies are still unsure down to the grassroots… AI is a beautiful innovation, but we’re still exploring, which is why you’d see a lot of international organizations conducting research on AI and how to tap into it even more.
4. Only a few people are actually using AI in business effectively
Although many business decision-makers are conversant with using accessible AI tools and conversational bots like ChatGPT and Gemini, many companies still aren’t using AI properly.
“Beyond conversational bots, companies still aren’t using AI effectively. It now transforms how decisions are being made across industries, and this is a huge part of the complexity. A lot of business owners focus on the talk and not the complexity.” The complex part of it, according to our key speaker, is the part that’s most critical to business success.
5. AI can help businesses across different aspects of operations
Here’s the thing: Basic conversational AI has its benefits, but tailored AI systems are very important to driving businesses. Our speaker stresses this, highlighting that, “beyond asking your team to generate scripts with conversational AI, it’s important to build AI systems that are more effective and tailored to your specific needs.”
This way, businesses can get the most value out of artificial intelligence, streamlining aspects like customer interaction, predictive maintenance, and workflow automation.
