Ep 23 - Beyond Headcount: The Power of AI Coworkers w/ Liz Baker
Manage episode 479520872 series 3640026
What if every employee in your organization could instantly double their productivity? Liz Baker makes this seemingly impossible feat a daily reality through her revolutionary "Baker Method" for AI implementation.
As founder of Nimbology, Liz has developed the "double your team in one day" program that routinely frees up 10+ hours per employee weekly by giving each person their own customized AI coworker. But unlike typical AI consultants who focus primarily on technology, Liz's approach begins with something more fundamental: organizational culture.
"Culture eats tech for breakfast," Liz explains, sharing a revealing story about a company that desperately needed AI implementation but hesitated due to employee fears – even as the co-founder admitted they would never hire someone who couldn't use AI tools. This paradox highlights the critical importance of leading cultural change before expecting technological transformation.
The "Baker Method" itself represents a breakthrough approach to AI customization that moves beyond generic capabilities toward highly contextualized support. Through strategic personalization of tools like ChatGPT, organizations can address their specific challenges with unprecedented precision. Her "Tom Stocks method" demonstrates this brilliantly by using AI to anticipate objections to proposals and prepare comprehensive responses before they're even raised – eliminating countless meetings and accelerating decision-making.
Looking toward the future, Liz emphasizes the growing importance of AI agents and automation, quoting a Salesforce executive's provocative claim that companies not already employing AI agents are "dead and don't know it yet." While acknowledging this as somewhat hyperbolic, she insists that organizations failing to leverage these technologies face an increasingly insurmountable competitive disadvantage.
Whether you're an executive seeking leadership advantages, a nonprofit stretching limited resources, or a citizen navigating our rapidly changing world, this episode offers practical wisdom for using AI as a force multiplier for human potential. Ready to supercharge your organization with AI? Liz Baker shows exactly how it's done.
