Ai-Future Growth Checklist May 2025

As we approach 2029, the business landscape is undergoing rapid transformation driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), customer relationship management (CRM) optimisation, and data-driven strategies.

For service-based businesses aiming for sustainable growth, staying ahead of these changes is crucial.

At Sydney Digital Marketing (SDM), we recognise the challenges faced by time-poor founders, CEOs, and marketing managers.

To assist in navigating this evolving environment, we’ve developed the Future Growth Readiness Checklist – a comprehensive guide designed to help you assess and enhance your business’s preparedness for the future.

Why This Checklist Matters

The integration of AI into business operations is no longer optional. According to Gartner, by 2029, 10% of global boards will use AI guidance to challenge executive decisions that are material to their business . Additionally, the CRM market is projected to reach $145.79 billion by 2029, emphasising the importance of optimising customer relationship strategies.

Our checklist provides actionable insights across key areas, including:

• Strategic Vision & Alignment: Ensuring your business goals are clear and aligned across all departments.

• AI Integration & Automation: Identifying opportunities to leverage AI for efficiency and innovation.

• CRM Optimisation: Enhancing customer relationship management for better engagement and retention.

• Personal Branding & Thought Leadership: Establishing a strong personal brand to build trust and authority.

• Customer-Centric Marketing: Developing marketing strategies that prioritise customer needs and experiences.

• Data-Driven Decision Making: Utilising analytics to inform strategic choices and measure success.

• Scalable Infrastructure: Building systems that support growth and adaptability.

• Risk Management & Compliance: Identifying potential risks and ensuring regulatory compliance.

How to Use the Checklist

This checklist serves as a practical tool for assessing your current position and identifying areas for improvement.
