No Hacks: Future-proofing your career in the age of AI Automate to Win with Shawn David
Welcome to nohacks.show, a weekly podcast where smart people talk to you about better online experiences!
In this episode, I am joined by Shawn David, a systems engineer and founder of Automate to Win. Shawn shares his expertise on automating Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) and provides valuable insights into how businesses can streamline their processes using a human-first approach.
Shawn begins by explaining his automation blueprint. The first step is Definitions, which involves establishing clear and consistent terminology within your organization to avoid miscommunication and inefficiencies.
The second step is to Identify Busy Work. This means pinpointing repetitive, manual tasks that do not require human intervention and can be automated. This step helps to free up valuable time and resources that can be better utilized elsewhere.
Next, Shawn discusses Pinpointing Bottlenecks. This involves identifying input, transformation, and output bottlenecks in your processes. Understanding where these bottlenecks occur allows you to address and resolve them effectively.
The fourth step is to Optimize Internal Processes. This step involves collaborating with your team to streamline and improve workflows. By working together, you can ensure that processes are as efficient and effective as possible.
Finally, Shawn talks about Automation. Implementing automation solutions to handle the optimized processes can save significant time and resources, allowing your team to focus on more important tasks.
Shawn then emphasizes the importance of defining terms to ensure everyone in the organization is on the same page. He shares personal anecdotes about overcoming challenges through automation and how his human-first engineering approach helps businesses optimize processes effectively.
