About this episode

This episode discusses AI readiness for hotels and the importance of data, process, and people in successful AI adoption.

AI won't make a rubbish hotel a good hotel - it will just expose the cracks faster. In this episode, I talk with Kris Glabinski of Aggregate Intelligence to unpack what genuine AI-readiness looks like for hotels and hotel groups, and why most commercial operations aren't there yet. Kris explains why data is actually the easy part to fix - and why process and people are where AI adoption really succeeds or fails. From the “100 free employees” thought experiment to the chicken-and-egg relationship between data, process and people, this is a grounded, practical look at what to fix before you invest in AI. ────────────────────────────── 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES ────────────────────────────── ● Aggregate Intelligence: https://aggregateintelligence.com/ ● Connect with Kris Glabinski on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glabinski/ ● Revenue Hub: https://revenue-hub.com/ ● Connect with Trevor Grant on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-grant-revenue-hub/ ────────────────────────────── 💬 ENJOYED THIS?
