Today, we delve deep into the world of hospitality technology, this episode features an engaging dialogue between Skip Kimpel and Michael Cohen, the Managing Partner of Growth Advisors International Network (GAIN). The discussion begins with a reflection on the challenges faced by the hospitality sector in the wake of the pandemic, particularly regarding staffing shortages and a lack of technological adaptation. Cohen stresses the urgency for businesses to embrace innovation, arguing that those who fail to do so may risk becoming obsolete in a fast-paced market. He articulates GAIN's commitment to providing specialized advisory services that not only address immediate technological needs but also foster a culture of ongoing improvement within organizations.

Cohen's extensive background in technology and marketing shines through as he navigates the conversation towards the importance of strategic planning and execution. He shares insights on how GAIN differentiates itself by blending advisory roles with practical execution strategies, ensuring that clients receive not only theoretical guidance but also actionable steps to realize their visions. The episode touches on the critical role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation, which are reshaping customer interactions and operational efficiencies in hotels and restaurants. Cohen's perspective challenges the common narrative that the hospitality industry is lagging, suggesting instead that risk-averse leadership across various sectors contributes to a broader hesitance to innovate.
