Clear Work: Decision-Making for Small Businesses

A practical session on what to automate, where AI helps, what to ignore, and how to make clearer day-to-day decisions in your business.

A practical session on what to automate, what to ignore, and how to make clearer day-to-day decisions in your business — including where AI can support you and where it often adds unnecessary complexity.

This session focuses on the decisions that sit behind everyday work — which tools to use, what to prioritise, what to delegate, and what to leave alone — and how to avoid unnecessary complexity as your business grows.

Rather than adding more systems, the aim is to simplify how you work and reduce the mental load of constant decision-making.

The session covers:

• How to decide what’s worth automating (and what isn’t)
• Where AI can be useful in supporting day-to-day decisions
• Avoiding overcomplication from too many tools or processes
• Structuring work to reduce reactive pressure
• Making clearer, faster decisions in everyday business

Who it’s for:

• Small business owners
• Freelancers
• People managing multiple responsibilities or income streams

A bit about Clockwise

Positioned in the iconic Generator Building, a Grade II listed building once home to the generator that powered the City’s tram system, Clockwise Bristol is set to be one of the South West’s most beautiful workspaces. It’s an iconic local landmark with extensive views of the harbour, located in the Waterfront Quarter in the heart of Bristol. Open space for collaboration, private offices and meeting rooms support all working patterns.
