ChatGPT for business

A useful rollout starts with clear business decisions.

ChatGPT Business gives organisations a shared workspace with central billing and administration. The business still needs to decide how people will use it, what information is appropriate and who owns the methods that emerge.

This guide covers the practical decisions that sit around the product.

01

Workspace and plan

Choose a plan and workspace structure that suits the team, the work and the controls the organisation needs.

  • Confirm the number and type of users.
  • List the administration, identity and reporting controls the organisation needs.
  • Separate current product facts from requirements that may call for another plan.
02

Company information

Decide what people can use, where sensitive information sits and which existing policies apply.

  • Classify the information people may use.
  • Document restricted material and required approval points.
  • Connect the rollout to existing privacy, records and client obligations.
03

Administration and access

Set clear ownership for members, roles, app access, shared resources and ongoing workspace decisions.

  • Name workspace owners and administrators.
  • Decide how people join, leave and change roles.
  • Review settings when the product or organisation changes.
04

Knowledge and connected tools

Choose which approved sources ChatGPT may use and confirm the permissions people already hold in those systems.

  • Start with the sources that support a clear use case.
  • Check user permissions in each connected system.
  • Decide who may enable, review and remove connections.
05

Shared work

Turn successful methods into shared projects, agents and workflows with named owners and review steps.

  • Choose recurring tasks with clear inputs and outputs.
  • Record the prompt, source material, owner and review step.
  • Retire duplicate or outdated versions.
06

Training and consistent methods

Teach people through their own documents, decisions and recurring tasks, then give them methods they can reuse.

  • Teach through real roles and approved business material.
  • Give people a small set of shared methods to practise.
  • Support the team after training as questions appear.
07

Governance and measurement

Review output quality, usage, risk, duplication and whether the work is producing a worthwhile business result.

  • Set expectations for checking and approving outputs.
  • Track adoption and the quality of work produced.
  • Review whether each shared method still earns its place.

Current product facts

Check product settings against current OpenAI documentation.

OpenAI changes plan inclusions, administration options and product names over time. Confirm the current position before making a purchasing, privacy or security decision.
