headline: Helping Organisations Become Capable of Making Good Decisions About AI | Governance, Adoption & Organisational Capability

about:
Organisations are not short of AI options. They are short of clarity.

Leaders are being asked to make consequential decisions about AI while balancing opportunity, investment, risk, workforce capability and governance. The challenge is rarely access to technology. More often, it is knowing where AI creates genuine value, what risks matter, and how to move forward with confidence.
I help organisations become capable of making good decisions about AI.

My focus is helping leaders and organisations make better decisions about AI so they can create value, manage risk and build lasting organisational capability. This means identifying where AI can genuinely improve outcomes, where investment is likely to be wasted, and what capabilities need to exist before adoption can scale successfully.

My background spans learning, technology, workforce capability, organisational change, privacy and governance. Over the past two decades I have worked with organisations navigating technology change, building capability, and helping people adapt to new ways of working.

More recently, my focus has been helping organisations understand and adopt AI responsibly and effectively. I bring a combination of governance, workforce capability and technology adoption experience that enables me to bridge leadership priorities, operational realities and responsible implementation.

Areas I typically support include:

• AI strategy and decision-making
• AI governance and responsible adoption
• Workforce capability and AI literacy
• Leadership and manager enablement
• Adoption and change
• Opportunity and risk assessment
• Organisational readiness for AI

I am particularly interested in helping organisations move beyond AI hype and towards practical, sustainable and responsible adoption that delivers m
