AI Tools Alone Don’t Fix Work, Asana’s AI Credentials Do

The tools you add to your workflow are only as good as your training. When I’m walking a team through Asana implementation, the tool stack matrix is one of the most important exercises I use. It really forces teams to take inventory of the tools they pay for, the tools they actually use, and why they use them. More often than not, several items make the list that actually aren’t being used at all. They were aspirational but never adopted.

We’re seeing the same thing happen right now with AI integration. Now that businesses have had measurable time with their tools, they’re learning whether or not there are measurable results to justify the investment. If your team has this AI tool, but you’re spending more time redoing its work, that’s not a tool problem, it’s a training problem.

Last year I had the privilege to join the beta for Asana’s AI Skill Badges. I’d been playing around with Asana’s AI features since fall 2024, and I was hungry to keep learning. Skilling up not only provided me with the best practices that I use every single day for my personal and business use of AI-powered tools, but it’s given me a leg up as the technology continues to advance rapidly. I already have the context and the experience, so I feel like I’m ahead of the game.

The skills you learn in Asana’s Skill Badges will not only help you with your workflows in the platform, you’ll also develop foundational knowledge that applies beyond Asana. Understanding how LLM’s work, refining your prompting skills, learning which types of work are best suited for AI collaboration, these are all transferable to any AI tool you use in the future.

Check out the AI for Work and AI Studio Foundations Skill Badges, and join me for free AI Studio Office Hours every month! I’ll be available to help you troubleshoot your AI workflows live.

Thank you for this information.

Nice post, Berry. I have seen a lot of posts like AI is here to replace humans, i will like to rephrase that statement and put it in this context, people that uses AI will have an Edge over people that dont.
