AI transformation as cultural disruption


For boards and leadership teams.

Most AI strategies fail because they treat transformation as a technical implementation problem. I work with boards to understand it as what it actually is: a cultural disruption that will threaten existing hierarchies, challenge established ways of working, and face resistance from the people who benefit from the status quo.

This work is about strategic disruption, that works for your organisation and your people.

Presentations and speaking engagement Creativity is the framing through which I discuss disruption, innovation and looking at the status quo with new eyes. My talks draw from my work launching an awardwinning international literary journal into a gatekept community, soft power on the global stage, and provoking with purpose.

Strategic consulting and workshops AI doesn't just change processes - it fundamentally reshapes how value is created in organisations. I work with leadership teams to redesign roles around creative intelligence and human judgment, not productivity metrics. Then I work with your people to support their mindset and ability to harness AI technology.

AI enablement workshops are based on real world experience of AI+ human adoption across public relations, communications, marketing, creative sectors and other knowledge work professions.

WORKSHOPS

  • For white collar office workers - those whose job involves moving knowledge from brain to paper.

    This core foundational course builds understanding of why AI will change their work, how it will change traditional roles and where human oversight remains essential.

    Audience: People who are AI Hesitant, new to the tools, lacking confidence - and teams who require support to set ethical and philosophical guardrails.

    Our Approach:
    We combine creative intelligence with practical immersions and discussion, blending engaging workshops with practical insights and case studies. Our workshop attendees leave enthused, with an understanding of guardrails, frameworks and confidence about how to integrate AI technology into their teams and their organisations.

    Topics include:

    • The philosophy of authorship in a post-AI world: ‘Did you use AI?’ and how to answer it with examples and discussions around originality, authorship and AI+HI integration- to empower attendees to set boundaries and guardrails for themselves and their teams.

    • Creative Ideation and innovation: Why AI is a creative thought partner and how to use it for impactful results.

    • Risks, including how to avoid a “good enough” culture and cognitive offloading as a result of AI, and mitigations.

    • Drawing from global case studies in copyright, creative attribution, and cultural impact to provide international context for AI use in knowledge work.

    Format: 2-hour in-person workshop, with discussion and practical elements.

  • For traditional white collar office workers in organisations and teams ready to move from experimentation to accountability.

    This session provides practical frameworks to embed privacy, authorship, and ethical judgement into AI use. This is best split across two workshops.

    • Organisation-wide guardrails: where AI is appropriate, where it is not.

    • Governance structures for AI oversight (champions, approvers, red-flag protocols).

    • Privacy and security: preventing data leakage, shadow AI use and ensuring staff understand privacy settings for their organisation.

    • Authorship and accountability:

    • clarifying responsibility in AI-assisted outputs and protecting institutional voice across large organisations.

    • Human intelligence: Protecting the human element of judgement, originality, and cultural nuance, and ensuring quality standards (avoiding the “good enough” trap).

    • Brand voice: Maintaining institutional brand voice and tone across AI-assisted workflows.

    Format: Best split between two 90-minute workshops

  • Strong leadership for forward thinking organisations starts with an eye to the future. We work with boards and executive teams who want to set their organisation up for success in industry’s that are being disrupted by technological change.

    Our sessions are bespoke to the stage and needs of your organisation, but frequently focus on the following areas:

    • Workforce development: Creative intelligence as an imperative skill for impactful generative AI use, guided by creative ideation support for leaders to implement with their teams.

    • Leadership in AI adoption: Supports leaders who want to mitigate risks including cognitive offloading, “good enough” culture, lapse in human judgement

    • Futures thinking: Facilitated strategy sessions for organisations ready to move, evolve and change as required.

    • Pipeline development: Redesign of roles and guardrails for junior staff.

    Leadership Outcomes:

    • Clear roadmap for AI implementation.

    • Scenario planning for organisational and industry disruption.

    • Ability to lead AI discussions with authority and nuance.

    • Strengthened organisational trust and resilience in a fast-changing environment.

    Format: 90-minute executive workshop to begin, focusing on one initial area. This workshop is often the first of a series of facilitated sessions to set your organisations up for success. We work alongside your technical experts to ensure the tech you are investing in is the right solution for your future.
