What is your advice business like?
July 29, 2020
Seth Godin, in one of his pieces describing the shift to online absolutely nails the definition of which businesses can most effectively compete with big tech, and which cannot:
What if the work you do is:
compliance-based
standardized
repetitive
not based on innovative or flexible customer interaction…
If it is, it’s pretty likely that you’ll be replaced by a combination of robots, AI and outsourcing.
If they can find someone or something cheaper than you, they’re going to work overtime to do so.
The alternative is to be local, creative, energetic, optimistic, trusted, innovative and hard to replace.
If your compliance process makes your business compliance-based, standardised, and repetitive... then it is turning you into robot food. On the other hand, if it is helping you deliver that business described in the last line, you are future-proofing your business.
