FAQ
Questions about AI assessments, training and coaching
Here are a few things people ask before we work together.
What does CEO In Slippers do?
CEO In Slippers is an AI adoption consultancy for South African small business owners and teams. We help you choose useful AI tools, put them to work and learn to use them safely through assessments, implementation, training and individual coaching. Explore our services.
Do I need to know anything about AI before we speak?
No. Start with your business and the tasks you want to improve. We discuss what you need before recommending support. Get in touch.
What is an AI Readiness Assessment?
An AI Readiness Assessment reviews how your business works, the tools you use and the support your people need before deciding where AI fits. At CEO In Slippers, it includes a review of your business information, consultation calls, a written report with recommendations and a meeting to discuss the findings. The scope and delivery dates are agreed before work starts. See what the assessment includes.
How is the free AI readiness check different from a paid assessment?
The free CEO In Slippers AI readiness check uses 10 questions to suggest a starting point and three useful next steps. It is a self check based on your answers. A paid AI Readiness Assessment reviews your business in detail and includes consultation, a written report and a discussion meeting. Try the free check or explore the paid assessment.
How do you help me choose an AI tool?
We start with the task, the information it needs, your budget and the people who will use or check the result. Tool choice follows that discussion. Access, privacy settings and how the tool fits your existing work are part of the decision. Explore implementation support.
Can you help us put the plan into practice?
Yes. If you want support after an assessment, we agree a separate implementation scope. This may include choosing tools and setting them up around the task your business needs help with. Ongoing support is available by agreement. Discuss implementation.
What is AI literacy?
AI literacy means understanding enough about AI to use it thoughtfully in your work. It includes giving clear instructions, recognising limitations, checking important answers, protecting information and knowing when a person must make the decision. Explore AI literacy training.
Can you train a team that already uses AI?
Yes. CEO In Slippers offers AI literacy training for teams already using AI as well as those getting started. The focus is on using tools more effectively and safely in everyday work. We discuss your team’s needs before proposing the training. Ask about AI training.
Do I need AI experience to book individual coaching?
No. You can start with the business tasks you want help with. CEO In Slippers offers individual AI coaching focused on the tools and everyday work you want to learn. A first conversation helps establish what you need before a proposal is prepared. Explore individual coaching.
What information should we avoid putting into an unapproved AI tool?
Keep passwords, identity numbers, banking details and confidential client records out of tools that have not been approved for that information. Use sample or anonymised information for practice. Check your organisation’s rules, the purpose of the task and the provider’s settings before sharing work information. A short questionnaire cannot confirm that a tool or workflow is safe. Check your AI skills and safe use habits.
How can we tell whether AI is actually saving time?
Choose one task and compare the time and quality of the usual process with the AI assisted process. Include time spent preparing instructions, checking facts and correcting the draft. Agree what a useful result looks like before the trial, then review whether the improvement is worth the effort. Discuss an assessment.
What affects the cost of AI training or an assessment?
The cost depends on the scope, preparation, hours involved and, for training, the number of participants. CEO In Slippers discusses your needs before sending a proposal. The agreed offer sets out what is included, the price, payment arrangements and relevant delivery dates before you commit. Tell us what you need.
