We don’t chase novelty tools. We focus on the thinking and structure that makes any tool useful: clear role briefs, behaviours over labels, constraints and trade-offs, repeatable shortlisting, and decision review that actually improves the process. Each episode gives you something you can use: - Role Definition Templates (behaviour-based, not position labels) - Question sets that lead to better shortlists - Meeting Structures that stop recruitment becoming a persuasion contest - Simple Ways to Stress-Test Decisions (“what would make this wrong?”) - How AI Fits Safely: drafting, checking, standardising outputs — never replacing judgement If you work in recruitment, scouting, analysis, coaching, or you’re aiming to, this show is for you. Clarity First. Tools Second.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013"},"episode":{"title":"Ep42: Putting It Into Practice — The Context Stack As A Club Standard.","slug":"ep42-putting-it-into-practice-the-context-stack-as-a-club-standard","published_at":"2026-01-09T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013/ep42-putting-it-into-practice-the-context-stack-as-a-club-standard","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013","url":"https://atc.captivate.fm/episode/ep42-","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/97541022-efd0-4d8a-9aae-b8b4b8833bb0.mp3","summary":"Join the Free Kickstart Challenge 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. Takeaways AI speeds up existing processes but doesn't fix vague thinking. Clarity and structure are essential before introducing tools. Good ideas often fail to become club standards under pressure. Shared language is crucial for effective communication. Recruitment meetings should focus on defined roles, not just names. Establishing a context stack helps maintain consistency. Documentation is key for learning from past decisions. AI can check, format, and record but not make final judgments. Separating definition and selection meetings improves outcomes. Building institutional memory is vital for long-term success. Useful Links Join the Free Kickstart Challenge Support The Show - Buy David and Tom a bag of peanut M&M's.
