Whether you’re a solopreneur or have a team of 100, at the heart of your business is your daily operations. This is one of the areas that AI and automation can really shine.
Steve and Sharon invited Lloyd Thompson, the founder of VirtualDOO, a fractional COO service, to discuss with them how AI and automation can improve daily operations. They’ll be discussing topics like:
- Common misconceptions and myths about AI and automation, and how to separate fact from fiction
- What are some of the easy wins you can experience when it comes to AI and automation?
- Where can one get started?
- Should AI & automation endeavors always be “owned” by operations or is it a collaborative effort between divisions?
- The role of data in AI and automation, and how to ensure that your data is accurate, relevant, and secure
- The importance of customizing AI and automation solutions to fit your specific business needs and goals
- How do you get your team excited so they don’t see AI and automation as a threat?

Bio:
Lloyd Thompson is the founder of VirtualDOO and the author of “9 Ways to Leave Your Day-to-Day Operations”.
His business liberates busy business owners from their daily operational management so they have time to focus on their passions, strategy and shaking the tree for new business.
Having spent over 20 years of service in the corporate world, Lloyd discovered an opportunity to provide “Director of Operations” services on a fractional basis to smaller non-corporates that are more nimble and interesting.
Lloyd has discovered that, even though the business offerings are different, the challenges businesses need help with are often very similar:
- The owner is overwhelmed with run activities instead of focusing on implementing their vision and working on strategy.
- There are people challenges. Are the right people in the right seats? Why do I have to give them all the solutions? How do I resolve this conflict?
- Projects and Operations could be running smoother.
Lloyd’s other passions are Surfing, Yoga, Latin Dancing and Travel. Lloyd drove a 1984 Citroen 2CV (a small car!) from London to Mongolia in 2008.
