GCP cannot credibly help members adopt AI if we are not adopting it ourselves.
We are actively using AI across our own operations — in research, communications, member services, and program development. This playbook is one output of that work. The partner portal is another. The AI Summit, the monthly roundtables, and the small-business cohort are how we are building the regional ecosystem alongside you.
A practical guide for helping your members navigate AI with confidence.
Built for chambers, partner organizations, and business support teams who want to help members take a clear next step without needing to become AI experts.
About 25 minutes. Built to use and revisit.
This helps tailor the examples, next steps, and recommended level of effort.

Most members are earlier in their AI journey than you think — and most organizations are figuring this out in real time too. Knowing their stage changes what you say, what you share, and when you just listen.
Your members may already be working with a framework — from their consultant, industry group, or their own research. Gartner calls it Awareness to Experimentation to Scaling. McKinsey uses Explore to Expand to Extract. CBIZ frames it as Assess, Pilot, Scale. Deloitte, NIST, and others each have their own version. The labels differ but they all describe the same arc: paying attention, then experimenting, then embedding AI into daily work. For member conversations, this playbook uses three plain-language stages — Exploring, Preparing, Implementing — so you do not need to memorize any one framework to have a grounded conversation.
