  • The UK must turn to the Middle East for cybersecurity inspiration

    Comment Central

    The sands are rapidly shifting beneath the UK's feet – for both public sector leaders and private company CEOs. They need to rapidly pivot and find some firmer cybersecurity terrain on which to build their defences.

  • AI could double the number of failed Digital Transformation Projects

    The HR Director

    Up to 70% of digital transformations fail, and the price of these projects not meeting their objectives is estimated to be around $2 trillion globally by 2026. Gopalakrishnan believes these figures will increase if companies continue to prioritise emerging technology like AI without a clear understanding of the retained organisation, recruitment and AI governance.

  • Beware embracing Technology over Culture and Governance

    All Things Business

    To absorb the shocks that will come from increasingly powerful AI systems, management teams will need to be composed of as wide a range of experts as possible to provide an array of insights.

  • Resist temptation to rapidly roll out AI – executives must focus on talent and training first

    Verdict UK

    The whirlwind surrounding AI right now is powerful. The perception of being seen as behind the curve on AI could prove costly.

    But within all this frenzied activity, lies a hidden danger that is already hurting bottom lines. The rush to roll out digital transformations, the white-hot crunch for AI talent, and the urge to integrate AI in every facet of a business’ operations has led to mistakes.

  • Do You Need A Strategic Pivot To Get AI Right?

    Forbes

    It may feel daunting to stand at the cusp of a new era, but the journey starts with a single step—a strong "AI-first strategy." A successful pivot is one that strives to empower people to do their best work. It is fuelled by a culture of innovation, which creates the blueprint to strategic growth and continuous learning, and operates within a framework of ethics and compliance.

  • AI fever risks torpedoing London tech

    The Evening Standard Syndicated via Yahoo! Finance

    Tech execs are racing to roll out AI as fast as possible. But they are trying to run before they can walk. If they don’t invest in the required talent and training first, then London’s tech sector will haemorrhage capital as rushed transformations, malfunctioning tech, and shaky consumer confidence rock firms.
