AI Governance
Privately used AI tools are an underrated business risk
Your people are already using AI, just not the tools you approved. The risk rarely sits in the tool. It sits in the fact that nobody knows what goes into it.

Messy data stays messy: why AI needs clean information
No model repairs what is wrong in your file storage. But a two-year data programme before the first use case is not an answer either.

Microsoft Copilot
A hammer for a screw: Copilot is not the answer to everything
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an excellent tool for a particular purpose. Most of the disappointment comes from asking it to serve a different one.

AI Governance
AI literacy is no longer optional, it is an obligation
Since February 2025 the EU AI Act has required people who use AI systems to understand their limits. Most companies do not meet this, and do not notice.
