Listen "The Rose & Rockstar: Efficient AI-Powered Zombie Processes"

Episode Synopsis

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic. 

This week, over a refreshing cocktail, Ian and Robert quote Drucker and wonder if AI will solve our zombie process. 

Key points from their discussion:



AI is automating inefficient processes.




Understanding the entire marketing process is crucial before implementing AI.




Curiosity and asking 'why' are essential in the AI experimentation phase.




Business users often prefer to delegate tasks rather than engage with complex systems.




Experimentation with AI is important




AI can add complexity and cost if not applied thoughtfully.
