In this episode of the "Expert in You Podcast," host Ann Carden is joined by guest Dejan Gajsek to discuss the importance of understanding and effectively communicating a brand's core pillars, messaging, mission, and values. They emphasize the need to stay informed about current and future events and utilize various channels of intelligence. While AI can assist with data summarization and saving time, there still needs to be a human who can make decisions on how to apply and use the information within the organization. They also explore the limitations and problems of AI, highlighting the fact that information used by AI systems is only sometimes up to date.

The conversation turns toward client acquisition and competition in the business world. They stress the significance of closing gaps and standing out against competitors while also acknowledging the challenges companies face with internal perspectives and biases. Bringing in an outside company can provide non-biased and real data, helping to identify problems and make improvements. The benefits of hiring an agency, such as cost-effectiveness and avoiding hidden costs, are also discussed.

They delve into the topic of competitive enablement and the importance of gathering intelligence on competitors and market trends. This knowledge allows companies to make strategic decisions confidently and position themselves uniquely in the market. While AI features are common, Dejan emphasizes the added value of a human aspect in their internal solution.

The episode concludes with a discussion on the need for more expertise and knowledge surrounding competitive intelligence implementation. Establishing a specialized team with members in research, copywriting, design, reporting, and account management is recommended for successful implementation.

Overall, this episode of the "Expert in You Podcast" provides valuable insights into effectively communicating a brand's core values, the importance of staying informed, the limitations of AI, client acquisition strategies, and the significance of competitive intelligence in driving strategic decision-making.

Nicole Bandes is the founder of a virtual team, which she established 7 years ago with the intention of helping individuals make a bigger impact in the world. Her motivation stems from understanding that when people are relieved of tasks that can be handled by others, they have more time to focus on what truly matters to them. Nicole's dedication to this cause was sparked by a personal tragedy a decade ago when she and her husband lost their son. This heartbreaking experience prompted her to reflect on the regrets and missed opportunities in life.
