Is Your Startup Ready for Artificial Intelligence?

How much of your time is actually spent on productive pursuits? Probably a lot less than you think. A recent Singlehop survey of IT pros revealed that those professionals spent only 36 percent of their average workweek on new projects and proactive tasks. That means they likely spend 64 percent of that same workweek on ongoing projects and routine functions. Wasting time like this isn't a problem unique to IT pros: Even at the C-suite level, according to a McKinsey report, 20 percent of the average CEO's time is spent on tasks that could be classified as ordinary to the point of automatic -- jobs like status report reviews and staff assignments.
