Is Your Team Ready for Google Gemini?

Ready, Set, Gemini! Google recently announced that Gemini is now integrated into Google Workspace. This brings a fundamental shift in how we interact with everyday tools like email, documents, chat, and video meetings. 

The exciting development comes with a price increase for Google Workspace, effective March 17, 2025. While Google Workspace prices are increasing to accommodate the enhanced capabilities of Gemini, you could look at this as an investment in your team’s future. Gemini is like adding a highly skilled assistant to every team member. This assistant can help with a wide range of tasks, freeing up your team’s time and brainpower for more strategic, creative work. 

Gemini brings so much to the table:

  • Content creation: Generate communications, documentation, presentations, images and more in Gmail, Docs, Slides and Chat
  • Streamlined meetings: Automate meeting summaries, take notes and suggest action items in Meet
  • Administrator tools: AI Data Classification, usage reports, access controls, information rights management, client-side encryption
  • Secure Data: Google’s Gemini AI prioritizes data security, confidentiality, and compliance. Your data is not used to train Gemini models outside of your domain without your permission. Gemini integrates with existing Workspace security, with industry-standard certifications like SOC 1/2/3 and ISO 27001/17/18 to ensure compliance and protect sensitive data.
  • Beyond Gemini: NotebookLM, Gemini Advanced, Gems, Google Vids

The integration is fun and exciting news – absolutely! It is going to transform the way people get their work done – there’s potential for that! Not everyone has time to teach themselves the ins and outs and super powers of Gemini AI. So instead of driving your business forward and boosting productivity, the tools might sit around collecting dust. 

When technology changes are introduced without warning, they have a big potential to lead to negative outcomes, including lack of adoption, increased confusion, resistance, and frustrating stumbling blocks. Organizations have to make the cultural transition to working in an AI-powered environment.
