ABOUT
I help senior leaders develop the judgement the age of AI demands.
The work takes two main forms — advisory engagements with boards and executive teams, and structured leadership programmes for those who will lead the change as it unfolds.
WHY THIS WORK, NOW
The moments that define an organisation are almost never about the technical decision.
I spent thirty years leading transformation in major organisations, most recently as Executive Director, Corporate Affairs and Communications at National Highways, where I led a £50m portfolio across an organisation responsible for some of the most consequential infrastructure decisions in the UK.
​
Before that, seventeen years at the Bank of England, where I led the modernisation of technology, regulation and communications frameworks through periods of profound institutional stress — followed by a year at the European Central Bank, advising senior leaders on crisis communication during the Eurozone debt crisis.
What I learned across those decades is that the moments that define an organisation are almost never about the technical decision in front of the leadership team. They are about whether the leadership team can see what deeper questions are at stake.
AI sharpens this question more than any previous technology. Every deployment is an identity decision in disguise. Most leadership teams are not equipped to recognise that, because the decision is dressed up as a technology question and routed to the wrong people in the organisation.
​
I can help your team developing the recognition, attention and the leadership judgement at the right moment.
PUBLISHED THINKING
The book and the framework
THE BOOK
The Conscious Organisation
In the age of AI, capability is a commodity. Most leaders ask what AI will do for their organisation. Few ask what it will do to it and what leadership is required.
THE FRAMEWORK
The AI Archetypes Framework
Ten distinct roles AI can occupy in an organisation, each demanding different levels of trust, governance, and leadership readiness. The shared language for decisions too important to leave to technologists alone.
HOW WE'D WORK TOGETHER
Four ways into the work
Engagements take four main forms — from a 90-minute board briefing through to a six-month advisory partnership. Each is designed for a different moment in your organisation's relationship with AI: designing the deployment, navigating it as it unfolds, or recovering when it has not delivered what was promised.
