How to Fix AI Chaos with Process Mapping and the 1% Rule for Leaders - Jack P. Flaherty

Episode notes

In this dynamic episode of the AI for Business Owners Podcast, host Jeff Torello is joined by Jack P. Flaherty, speaker, author, consultant, C-Suite advisor at The Decision Switch, founder and CEO of Connacht Ventures to discuss how leaders can use AI and automation not just efficiently, but wisely. Jack shares how his consulting work with executives and tech companies has revealed a common trap: diving into automation without a clear mission. He advocates for a "go slow to go fast" approach where breaking down processes and building modular solutions (think Lego blocks!) creates smarter, safer, and more sustainable AI adoption. From his experiences automating compliance for California's new workplace violence law to the risks of blind trust in AI-generated data, Jack brings a pragmatic and deeply insightful perspective on the future of work. Whether you're a founder, a finance exec, or a process geek, this episode will shift how you think about automation, strategy, and long-term impact.
