Stop Buying AI Tools and Start Changing the Work — with Ashley Gross, Founder & CEO, AI Workforce...

Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/214745/fan...) Most companies have bought the AI tools. Far fewer have changed how the work actually gets done. Ashley Gross, Founder & CEO of the AI Workforce Alliance and author of The AI Workweek, joins Al Martin to close that gap. Ashley used AI to cut her own workweek from 40 hours to 15. Her AI Impact Alignment™ framework shows teams how to get there too: decide what to automate first, build a "digital staff" of agents, and give those agents the information they need to do real work. She and Al dig into what token costs and orchestration mean for your budget, when agents are ready to run on their own, and why data capture is largely solved while adoption is not. If you've been told to "do AI" and aren't sure where to begin, jump to 38:58 for the workflows Ashley recommends starting with. 00:52 Introducing Ashley Gross 01:52 The Book: The AI Workweek 06:34 What to Automate First 09:06 The Digital Staff 12:06 Sharing of Info to Agents 17:58 Token Affordability & Orchestration 20:42 Autonomous Agents 23:12 Engagement with Ashley 27:58 Data Capture Solved, Adoption Not 30:30 Differentiation via Outcomes 38:58 Workflows to Start 40:38 Reaching Ashley LinkedIn:   / theashleygross   Website: https://www.aiworkforcealliance.com/ Want to be featured as a guest on Making Data Simple?  Reach out to us at almartintalksdata@gmail.com and tell us why you should be next.  The Making Data Simple Podcast is hosted by Al Martin, WW VP Technical Sales, IBM, where we explore trending technologies, business innovation, and leadership ... while keeping it simple & fun.
