Operator story

Tanya Ferguson joins Dave Pengelley for the first Operator Stories interview. She describes her move from an insurance career into AI consulting and the business-first approach she uses to identify operational blind spots.

In the conversation

  • Asking how the business runs before recommending an AI tool.
  • Missed calls, follow-up and the work an owner may not notice is being lost.
  • Translating business needs for an implementation team, then testing the result.
  • What an owner would choose to do with time back.
  • How Tanya and Dave use ChatGPT and Claude in their own work.

Client outcomes and adoption figures discussed in the interview are the speakers' accounts, not independently audited results.
