S2.E7: Automation isn't expertise
Tell us what you thought about this episode
"There's an app for that"
so goes the joke when any manual task comes up.
And you've heard the one about how Automation and Robots will take our jobs.
Or Chatbots are more efficient than people.
And how to replace your accountant with booking keeping software.
Yeah, right.
Technology is a great enabler, but it's not a true replacement for people. Especially when it comes to high-value activities that involve complex decisions.
Because Automation isn't the same as Expertise
There are some things technology can't do. For everything else, there's People.
In this episode, I talk with Irene Bennetts about how people are still an important part of your business
