In the earlier posts in this series, we talked about treating AI adoption as a transformation program, not just another technology rollout. We also talked about the foundations organisations need to move from strategy to implementation: data, security, governance, platforms, skills, and use case management. In this post, I want to focus on security. Security is often considered too late…
In my previous blog posts, I argued that AI adoption is a transformation program, not a tool deployment. I described the three objectives of a practical AI strategy and the foundations needed to execute that strategy. The first of those foundations is data. Here’s what being AI-ready actually means for your data. AI is…
Building an AI Strategy That Works This is the fourth article in a series on what it takes to adopt AI in a way that is practical, secure and genuinely valuable. Over the coming posts, we will explore the strategic, technical and organisational foundations that help organisations move from isolated experimentation to lasting business value.

The foundations that turn AI ambition into business value This is the third article in a series on what it takes to adopt AI in a way that is practical, secure and genuinely valuable. Over the coming posts, we will explore the strategic, technical and organisational foundations that help organisations move from isolated experimentation to lasting business value. If you missed the two articles, you can find…
Turning AI ambition into practical, measurable business value This is the second article in a series on what it takes to adopt AI in a way that is practical, secure and genuinely valuable. Over the coming posts, we will explore the strategic, technical and organisational foundations that help organisations move from isolated experimentation to…
What digital transformation can teach us about adopting AI properly This is the first article in a series on what it takes to adopt AI in a way that is practical, secure and genuinely valuable. Over the coming posts, we will explore the strategic, technical and organisational foundations that help move from isolated experimentation…
Most organisations do not discover the gaps in their managed service contracts during the sales process. They discover them at 9 am on a Monday when a critical system or pipeline is down, or at the end of a month when the allocated hours are gone, and no one is quite sure where it went.…
Artificial intelligence has moved beyond experimentation. Yet despite significant investment, most organisations are still stuck in what can only be described as pilot purgatory. Up to 88% of AI initiatives fail to make it beyond the pilot stage. The ambition is there. The technology is there. So what’s going wrong? The Problem Isn’t AI — It’s Scale Running a successful AI pilot is…
Threats Are Moving Faster Than You Are In cyber security speed is everything! Threat actors are evolving rapidly, employing increasingly sophisticated tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that outpace traditional defences. You must understand who is targeting your organisation, how they operate, and why – before they strike. This is where adversary intelligence comes into play. It’s not just a buzzword; it’s a critical differentiator in staying ahead of evolving…
In my last post, AI in GRC: A Transformative Force in Cybersecurity, I talked about the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” problem, which is the very real risk that AI is unleashing forces we might struggle to control. We looked at the scary stuff: deepfakes, AI-generated malware and the fact that our traditional GRC frameworks are struggling to…
