Episode 14
When Automation Costs More Than The People It Replaced
Your robots, bots and AI agents removed headcount, and the cost of running the work went up. Price the cost lines your business case never counted, before you sign the next automation and after it goes live.
Video, 6 minYour First Quarter As The New CFO Or COO
A new finance or operations leader has a short window in which to make changes, and less information than anyone who reports to them. Turn the operating review into one focused software priority your team can deliver.
Video, 7 minThe Seven Layers Of An AI Adoption Stack
An AI system depends on more than a model. Work through all 7 layers, from data and models up to outcomes, and the controls that sit under them, to find the layer that is limiting your operation before you buy the easiest one.
Video, 7 minBuy The Software You Can Afford To Replace
The tools improve every few months. What you build now will need changing within a year or two. Choose software with clear ownership and a scope small enough to replace as better tools become available to your business.
Video, 7 minYour Team Ships More And Understands Less
AI now writes more of your code and analysis, and nothing in the loop requires anyone to learn why the work succeeded. Keep the decisions, lessons and context your team needs to improve its systems as AI takes on more work.
Video, 7 minThe Savings You Announced Have No Mechanism
The filing names the savings and the period, not the mechanism, and nobody is responsible for producing one. Turn the target into a change people can deliver, with a clear process, a named owner and evidence of progress.
Video, 7 minOne Workflow Across Two Entities Before The ERP Merges
The ERP merge is months away, and meanwhile one process runs every week across both companies on a spreadsheet and one person. Help them run it with clear records, roles and approvals before their core systems merge.
Video, 7 minKeep AI Away From The Step You Can't Undo
A wrong summary is corrected in a second; a wrong order is money gone. Let AI research and explain your decisions while fixed rules control the orders and actions your business cannot undo, as they do in the CVEST.ai system.
Video, 7 minWho Checks The Work When AI Writes The Software?
Often the same system that wrote the code also decided that the code was fine. Give AI-built software an independent verifier from a different model family, clear checks and a human stop point before it reaches production.
Video, 7 minWhat Your Board Should Ask Before Buying AI
A convincing AI demo can still leave open what the business is committing to operate. Test the proposal against the business outcome, the evidence, who owns delivery after release and what changing course would cost.
