  1. Give them T-Rex arms!

    1D AGO

    Give them T-Rex arms!

    There is a major disconnect happening in business operations today. On one side, companies are throwing capital at surface-level AI hype without a clear strategy. On the other side, standard IT setups treat technology as just a utility, ignoring the human element entirely. Meanwhile, your actual workforce is caught in the middle. Employees are constantly overextending—manually jumping between completely disconnected software silos, browser tabs, and legacy databases just to complete basic daily tasks. It is an invisible, incredibly expensive drain on your operational efficiency and employee retention. This podcast is designed to bridge that gap with pragmatic, high-level business strategy. Hosted by Alexander Abney-King—a fractional CIO and workplace psychologist—this show looks at operational efficiency through a unique, dual lens. We strip away the buzzwords and pair 100-year-old principles of behavioral science with modern, agentic AI. The goal? To connect your software silos, reduce digital friction, and bring corporate data directly to your team. Every episode, we tackle the real hurdles facing mid-market executives and technologists today: The Generational Tech Gap: How to seamlessly integrate a cloud-native generation that grew up on Google into a legacy Microsoft enterprise ecosystem. The Financial Strategy: How custom agentic workflows can change your multi-year tax liabilities, shifting development costs into immediate domestic write-offs under Section 174A. The Human Element: Using advanced role analysis to design automated workflows that protect your labor margins and stop the expensive cycle of employee turnover.
