One of the biggest challenges will be the swiftly changing business environment brought on by the continued reach and capabilities of AI. Advo has already started on our journey with an aim to keep pace with the rapid changes. With this in mind we have an article from Chris McCracken, our Commercial Director, as a suggestion to our clients to embrace the oncoming change.

Advo had the recent insight of a day of in-depth AI training by Rob Humphreys, of Dixon Humphreys.

Although our principal USP is the quality of inter-personal relations with clients, we need to be aware of the evolving possibilities which can help streamline the ever-increasing burden of due process and procedure, and the compliant categorisation and formulation of client data.

As payroll advisers for example, we receive data in all kinds of formats, including handwriting, and each month this plethora of information has to be re-configured to be interpretable by our bespoke payroll software.

The beauty of generative AI is that it can re-formulate information more accurately and quickly than a human can, which means the person doing that thankless task can be freed to do more inspiring work, such as building client relations and introductions to our wider services.

The world is changing so rapidly around us that sometimes it seems we can never run fast enough even to stand still…

… and sometimes the need to change and adapt is thrust upon us so forcefully that we have no choice but to embrace change, and to constantly adapt and reinvent ourselves.

If we can take pride in the possibility of adaptation, rather than resisting, we can see ourselves as contemporary players in the work of the future.
