Скачать или смотреть Vibe Coding: Growth Enabler or Massive Risk? Unpacking AI's Impact on Sub-£10M Businesses.

Being focused on multiplying the valuations of sub-£10M businesses through smart tech investments, I often hear about the latest advancements with a mix of excitement and trepidation.

Our recent SME Growth Cohort session dove deep into "vibe coding" – using AI to generate software from natural language prompts. For non-technical business owners the insights we created in the group are a real eye-opener:

Here are some highlights:

The Power of Rapid Prototyping: Test Ideas, Get Traction, Faster.

"The cost of being able to demonstrate that something is workable now becomes so low that it is easier to prove a case, get some traction and then go on to a production grade build."

Imagine validating a new service idea or automating a small internal process in days, not months. This agility allows you to de-risk innovation, which should make you more innovative.

AI as Augmentation, Not Replacement: Elevate Your Team's Capabilities.

"We need people to drive this stuff to make sure that what we get at the end of it is high quality and on spec. If we augment people with this technology we can build more stuff, we can build it faster and together we can build it better."

AI isn't here to replace your team, but to supercharge them. By empowering your existing workforce with AI tools, you can increase efficiency, accelerate project delivery, and elevate the quality of your output.

The Critical Importance of Trust: If You Can't Trust It, Don't Use It.

"If you can't trust what's actually being built, you can't really do anything with it... if you're going to use this tech, you need to be able to get to a spot whereby you can trust the output because otherwise any time you do put into it, it's just going to be a wasted investment if it can never go anywhere."

Without trust in AI's output, it's a wasted effort. For critical business functions or sensitive data, expert oversight is non-negotiable. Don't let rapid development lead to unreliable solutions that harm your business.

Don't Skip the Fundamentals: Security and Best Practices Still Matter.


"Why did it even have access to the production database... why did it have permission to delete the database?"

The promise of quick AI solutions can mask fundamental security and architectural flaws. Proper guardrails, access controls, and data protection are paramount and overlooking these basics can lead to data breaches and reputational and financial damage.

Would you like to make your business more efficient, more scalable, more profitable, and more valuable through strategic technology adoption?
