The stuff of science fiction, the imagination of dreamers or the best thing since sliced bread!

It’s all of those!

And it has arrived! Revolutionary technology that’s changing our world and us at a rapid pace. Blink and you will miss it!

If you are like me, this raises questions! Let’s ask some!

What is AI? AI is technology that enables machines and computers to simulate human learning, problem-solving and comprehension. It is a broad field within computer science with subfields including Machine Learning.

How does it work? It uses algorithms to process large amounts of data, recognize patterns within that and then learn from those patterns to make decisions or predictions without being specifically programmed for every single task. Similar to how humans learn from experience.

What does AI do? Learns from data, makes decisions, creates new content and understands and generates language. As they are exposed to more information, AI systems improve their performance over time, allowing them to perform human-like tasks.

More specifically, navigating uncertain economic times!

As the conversations become more despairing with talk of continuing economic turmoil, rising inflation and a looming potential recession, it’s easy to become bogged down in a doom and gloom mentality. This can soon fester into negative market paralysis, with consumers and investors pulling back! It’s created a volatile situation for everyone!

But there are ways forward. If you are a small Business owner now is a good time to take a deep breath of optimism, get off the back foot and seek ways to counter these challenging events. This doesn't mean putting on rose-coloured glasses, being overly optimistic or ignoring the facts.

7 Key strategies include:

1. Take Stock – of product inventory, premises and include a Business entity assessment. Is the model best serving your interests? Are there product lines or services that are underperforming? What are the best sellers, or popular items?

Additionally, are you prepared? As shoppers start to stockpile their pantries, if you are affected, do you have extra stock on hand?

2. Customer care – make your customers the centre of attention. Focus on existing clients to maintain revenue and reward them with loyalty and other add-value incentives. Provide service excellence with a smile, delivered by enthusiastic and well-trained staff. Create a friendly, welcoming vibe and encourage, take, and listen to customer feedback.

3. Financial resilience – It's all about the bottom line!

Supply Demand If you have been queuing at the petrol station to get bargain-priced fuel, or indeed to buy any fuel, you will have seen prices increasing dramatically, daily! Welcome to supply and demand economics in play.

Or if you have joined the crowds at a for-sale, home open or a property to lease, and left like many without the keys to the front door, you are experiencing the ‘supply and demand’ economic principle. In fact, it is often referred to as the Law of Supply and Demand and is a fundamental concept in Economics.

In simple terms, supply is how much of a product is available in the market, while demand is how much of it people want; together, these form the basic economic theory of supply and demand.

The next part of the equation is the relationship between the two. The amount of a product, commodity or service available and the ‘want’ of buyers to purchase it are the factors determining price.

It's how buyers and sellers interact to determine the price and supply of a resource. When demand outstrips supply, prices will increase. In a free capitalist, competitive market -it‘s economics in play. The price of an entry-level property in Perth now costs twice as much as it did five years ago!

Did you experience these examples? I did! The price of chocolates rose dramatically in 2025, as cocoa production dropped globally due to severe storms. And here we are, April 2026, Easter eggs exemplify the ongoing impact. A leading chocolate maker spokesperson advises, ‘we are navigating higher cocoa and input costs globally’. COVID disrupted and strained global supply chains, transportation and productivity, and subsequently shifted demand patterns. Supply was constrained, and demand spiked.

The same thing occurs with other commodity essentials - toilet paper is a popular item, leaving the shelves like hot cakes!

How it works. Cause and effect! It’s a balancing act!
