AI Moment Podcast Show Notes 🎙️

Exec Summary

In this episode, hosts Jonathan Wagstaffe and Danny Denhard discuss the three crucial considerations for leaders in the age of AI. They emphasise that AI is not just a technological upgrade, but a "sea change" in how the world operates, comparable to the advent of the wheel or electricity. Leaders must educate themselves on AI to navigate this shift. The hosts outline three key questions every business leader should ask themselves to prepare for the future of AI.

Tools Mentioned 🛠️

• AI-driven automation tools: Implied throughout the discussion for saving time and costs.
  
• Run A Professional SWOT analysis: Recommended for assessing how AI could disrupt a business and for developing a defensive strategy.
  

The Key Takeaway 🔑

The three essential questions for leaders to consider are:

1. How can AI help us automate what we do now to save time and cost? Leaders should identify "low-hanging fruit" and establish a process for testing and evaluating AI automations.
2. How might an AI-savvy competitor disrupt our space? This involves a defensive mindset, mapping the organization's value chain to identify vulnerabilities, and developing a strategy to respond to disruption.
3. How can we use AI to evolve our business and disrupt the space ourselves? This is the flip side of the previous question, encouraging leaders to become the "AI-savvy competitor" who provides more value and changes the game for the competition. This is a multidisciplinary question that requires input from leaders across all departments, not just a small part of the business.
