Scale Up With Nick Bradley

David Jenyns - How You Should Be Thinking About AI


Listen Later

Nick welcomes back David Jenyns, author of Systemology and Systems Champion, to discuss the seismic shifts in business operations triggered by AI. 

David shares how the sudden emergence of ChatGPT disrupted his own documentation business, leading to a deeper realisation that clear business processes are the essential "programming" for AI to function effectively. Together, they explore a strategic approach to scaling: mapping out core processes first to ensure that AI and automation are applied to a solid foundation rather than chaotic workflows. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Business processes are essentially the "programming for the machines"; having clear, documented workflows is a prerequisite for effectively integrating AI and automation.
  • Most existing businesses will benefit from mapping their "critical client flow"—the linear journey from prospect to delivery—and then identifying where AI can solve specific pain points or improve efficiency.
  • AI shouldn't just replace roles but should be used to "power up" smart team members, allowing them to produce higher-quality output faster by automating repetitive tasks.
  • As AI agents take over more execution-level tasks, the role of management may shift toward overseeing these automated systems and ensuring they align with the company's core strategy and KPIs.
  • BEST MOMENTS

    "Process is the programming for the machines." 

    "I think the blessing was, though, it got me to start acting with urgency, whereas a lot of people they're still not acting with enough urgency around what AI is going to do." 

    "If we were building this again knowing what we know now with AI becoming so prevalent, what would we do differently?"

    "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
