Summary
In this conversation, Tom Butterfield and David Bromley discuss the importance of clarity and structure in football recruitment processes.
They emphasise the need for a club standard that incorporates a 'Context Stack' to ensure consistent decision-making.
The role of AI is explored as a supportive tool rather than a decision-maker, with a focus on maintaining institutional memory and accountability in recruitment decisions.
The discussion also highlights the significance of holding two separate meetings;
Meeting 1) Defining Roles
Meeting 2) Selecting Players
in order to avoid confusion and ensure effective outcomes.
