🎙️ EP75 - Are Your Developers Ready for AI? The David vs Goliath Story

Spitch.AI beats tech giants through customer-centric collaborative AI and cultural readiness. Pier Giorgio Vittori (CEO US division) reveals a gradual adoption framework, employee satisfaction foundation, and ethical business practices that turn David into a Goliath-defeater in the AI era.

🎙️ Episode Highlights:
Spitch.AI was founded in 2014, expanding from Switzerland to US, UK, and Italy. Instead of out-of-box solutions, they compete through deep customization matching customer needs and local regulations.

Core principles driving their success:
Employee satisfaction = customer satisfaction (foundational law)
Technology serves customer needs, not adoption for hype
Collaborative AI: human expertise supervises AI execution
Gradual implementation matching organizational maturity
Ethics builds long-term relationships vs. short-term sales

💡 Key Insights:
Don't be afraid of technology, embrace it wisely."
Without cultural readiness and technical fundamentals, AI amplifies dysfunction at 10x speed.
Teams can't challenge AI hallucinations if they were trained not to challenge authority.
The gap isn't technical—it's behavioral.
