72: Using AI at Work for SaaS Advantages and Organizational Change with Jim Curry
Chris Daigle sits down with Jim Curry, co-founder and investor at BuildGroup, to explore how AI is reshaping business strategy and organizational design.
Jim breaks down why SaaS companies have unique advantages in the AI era, and how AI adoption mirrors past infrastructure shifts like the rise of cloud and open source. He explains why most businesses shouldn’t chase AI-native hype, but instead focus on workflow transformation that drives measurable results.
This episode dives into:
• How to view AI adoption through the lens of past technology waves
• Why SaaS businesses are best positioned to integrate AI
• The organizational shifts AI will create, from agents to evolving job roles
• Balancing efficiency gains with true competitive differentiation
• How leaders should approach AI adoption without falling into the “shiny object” trap
Key Insight: AI is less about replacing businesses and more about re-architecting how they operate — and the winners will be those who align people, process, and technology together.
