all of the above... but also understanding how automation works. You can't just walk into a pitch and say "automated reports" without knowing how to build one. You can't say "machine learning to get automated insights" without knowing how it works.

Humans will still be relevant in an advisory kind of way - this is and always has been the role of an agency.

BTW, Automation isn't powerful - SQL, python, R are old tools. it's computers becoming more powerful and these tools are more democratized.

Like a lot of this industry, you will need to be cheaper than the competition. Otherwise you will Barton Graf.

*lean, not cheaper.

if you can do it with less bloat, you've already won.

The trick is not to engage in a race to the bottom, but to operate lean and hire only when you need to. The FTE model needs to go away, and we need to have this idea that less can sometimes mean more.

Is this okay?

I have family members who are inside claims reps for a large company. The company sends out emails 4 times/day showing who is currently not available for calls. To everyone working in claims in the entire country! It’s been a minute since I worked in claims. And never for this particular company. But is this shaming the new way to manage WFH.? Sounds at least toxic.
