What business constraint is holding your company back? Smart CEOs are exploring how AI can remove bottlenecks, free up valuable time, and help their teams focus on the work that drives growth.

In this episode of The CEO Project Podcast, Jim Schleckser welcomes Ray Meiring, CEO and founder of QorusDocs, to discuss practical ways to put AI to work. From streamlining proposals and RFP responses to reducing sales administration and accelerating financial analysis, Ray shares how AI can support better business performance while keeping people at the center.

Discover why the biggest opportunity goes beyond saving time. Smart CEOs reinvest that capacity in stronger customer relationships, more compelling proposals, and higher-value activities. Jim and Ray also explore three priorities for adoption: establish privacy and security guardrails, select a low-risk use case with meaningful value, and carry successful experiments through to everyday use. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the continuing importance of human judgment, trust, and leadership.

Listen now for a practical perspective on getting started. Then identify one bottleneck in your business where AI could help your team spend less time on administration and more time delivering value.
