Fantastic to speak at October's AICON conference where I explored a critical question: Why do even the most promising AI ideas often fail to reach the ‘last mile’ 💡

My session focused on bridging the gap between an idea and a truly integrated, value-generating business system. I introduced a practical field guide got navigating the final stage - and ensure successful AI deployment.

Brilliant day at Belfast PRIDE with the #Deloitte #PROUD network and allies. We still have a long way to go, and have had some backwards steps recently. But seeing the amount of people and supporters today, #equality for ALL is achievable. Happy #PRIDE everyone.

What is Greenhushing? According to the World Economic Forum, some organisations are feeling pressured by activists to "play down" - or even DITCH - their ESG commitments. It's time to pivot conversations to FinOps - and achieve the same outcome. Using less compute, after all, means producing less emissions.

Hot on the heels of Avis, I'm now advised my Harvey Nichols account information has been stolen. Intrusion was detected on Monday, and has since been fixed. Non-sensitive data was taken (and by non sensitive - they mean my name, telephone number, email, and full home address 🫤).

This information is gold dust for social engineering, so the "non sensitive" term is being stretched here.

Please be on your guard

Ps: Hope these two are OK! (Picture, BBC).
