Existing Agency Tech Stacks and Organisational Charts are Outdated Relics That Require Dismantling with Robert Craven

Move beyond focusing solely on the latest AI tools and instead concentrate on developing a comprehensive business blueprint for 2026. Continuing to operate under a traditional "2015-style" pyramid structure… consisting of juniors doing production, managers overseeing work, and directors discussing it… results in excessive, uncompensated overhead:

• AI Disruption of the Junior Workforce

• Transition to Human in the Loop

• Human Judgment in an AI-Native Model

• Oversight and Structural Adjustments

• Value Proposition and Future Growth

The AI-native agency model requires a payroll restructure that prioritises judgment and wisdom over labour. Shift away from selling billable hours and toward selling expertise. Growth strategies for 2026 should not rely on hiring more junior staff to handle volume, as this approach is characteristic of an outdated labour-heavy past.
