AI and RevOps: Embedding RevOps to Speed Business Growth
Every leadership team craves alignment; no one wants the meetings. When executives hear "RevOps for Clients," they may picture more red tape and overhead. Courtney Baker, David DeWolf, and Mohan Rao argue that the right rigor doesn't slow business down—it slows bad decisions down. They unpack the "Minimum Viable Cadence," swapping hours of reactive fire drills for a single 30-minute triage, and discuss why exposing "dirty data" is the only path to shared accountability. Courtney also sits down with Alyssa Nolte of Ology to discuss AI in Customer Experience. Alyssa shares why the data you need is already there—just trapped in silos—and offers a "Kobe Bryant" approach to mastering the unsexy fundamentals of change management. All that, plus Pete Buer analyzes IBM's move to package its internal AI efficiency tool, IBM Consulting Advantage, as a client-facing product. Is it the ultimate example of productizing services?
