Solution
The San Antonio Spurs deployed ChatGPT Enterprise with a people-first rollout that emphasized fluency, cultural fit, and employee-led experimentation rather than usage quotas. After a 150-person pilot, training, onboarding guides, and hackathons helped teams across data analytics, community engagement, partnerships, learning and development, and retail build GPTs for concrete needs. Fan Voice GPT summarizes thousands of post-game comments in minutes, Transformative Leadership GPT localizes leadership programming, Counterfeit Merchandise GPT flags suspicious resale listings against official inventory, Spurs Culture GPT packages a 50-part docuseries into a reusable knowledge base, and other GPTs translate sponsorship and feedback data into action. The same adoption model helped the club expand fan engagement in Spanish and French. By making employees the builders and keeping goals ahead of tools, the Spurs created an internal AI platform that scales both business impact and team culture.
Data flow
Fan comments, sponsorship metrics, leadership materials, resale listings, and cultural documentation flow into team-built GPTs within ChatGPT Enterprise. Those GPTs return summarized insights, localized content, counterfeit signals, and reusable knowledge that staff use to improve fan, partner, and internal experiences.
