The phases of an AI project are three, and six months in, the result a leader should point to is not a dashboard or a finished rollout. It is people. Every person in the company should have been part of it, and each should have a story about what the work uncovered in themselves. […]
The right person to lead your AI initiative is the living embodiment of AI, and you judge them on three things: culture, technology, and leadership. Not on energy, not on buzzwords, not on how well they present. You find this person with one question, and then you listen to how they answer it. The question […]
Workslop, the AI output that looks finished but is hollow and leaves colleagues losing hours cleaning it up, is not an AI problem. It is an accountability problem wearing AI’s clothes. The rules of work never changed: a leader is responsible for what their people deliver, and the way out is leadership, not better […]
Once a leader has done the hard, honest work on themselves and the company, the P&L turns into simple arithmetic. The value leaks long before that, in companies that point AI at their old data and ask it the same comfortable questions that produced the losses in the first place. Change the questions and […]
The two-hour litmus test: three red flags on a vetting call On a fifteen-minute call with a potential AI speaker, the single most revealing question is: how have you used AI in the last two hours? A practitioner answers instantly, fast and specific, and could carry on for an hour. The three red […]

The event manager as virtual CEO: the power of choosing the right speaker Booking the right speaker is not filling a slot on an agenda. The event manager who chooses well becomes the reason the organisation moves, and leadership starts treating them as a trusted advisor, almost a virtual CEO. The wrong booking is […]
The board is usually the part of an organisation that understands AI the least, and it is also the part that holds the final decision on it. You cannot close that gap with a single training session. A board is raised the way any group of people is convinced, through results it can see […]
“Shoot arrows at me”: how the first sixty seconds build trust with 400 strangers When you stand in front of 400 executives who are quietly afraid of AI, the first sixty seconds are not about your credentials or your agenda. They are about handing the room control. You tell them they can interrupt you […]
