The Future of Lean: AI's Impact on Business Staffing Models with Chris Daigle

What if I told you that the business you're running today could operate with just 20% of your current staff? It sounds impossible, right? Maybe even a little scary. But here's the thing - businesses across the globe are discovering that with the right AI implementation, they can not only maintain their operations but actually improve them with dramatically smaller teams.

The traditional business model has always been simple: want to grow? Hire more people. Need more output? Add more staff. But this approach is becoming outdated, expensive, and increasingly unnecessary. The challenge isn't just about cutting costs - it's about reimagining how a modern business can operate in the age of AI.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Chris Daigle, CEO of ChiefAIOfficer.com and a pioneer in AI business transformation. Chris isn't just theorizing about the future of lean business operations - he's living it. As a Certified Chief AI Officer and expert in AI strategy, he's helping businesses revolutionize their operations through strategic AI implementation. His expertise is backed by impressive credentials, including certifications from Columbia Business School and LinkedIn's Generative AI for Business Leaders program, and he's become a trusted voice in helping businesses navigate the AI revolution.

The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Chris Daigle about:

✨ Strategic AI Integration: Identifying and implementing AI solutions that truly reduce operational overhead.

✨ Human-AI Balance: Understanding which roles to automate and which to keep human-operated.

✨ Lean Scaling: Using AI to grow business capacity without proportionally growing headcount.
