digital transformation

Many years ago, as a young brewery sales manager, I was talking to the new transport manager who'd recently taken over from someone who’d “been there years.” Now that he was settled in he was starting to have a look at things and one of the things he wondered about was the seemingly erratic delivery route planning; On a Monday the dray lorries would go out to customers on the very extremities of the delivery area and the next day they were all within a stone’s throw of the brewery. Wednesday they were moderately far away, the following day round the doors again and on a Friday right out at

We have been discussing innovations in the HR Tech space. Key benefits include the reduction in costs, raising productivity and improving employee retention amongst many others. Overall, one of the biggest advantages is that it helps HR become far more strategic.

How does AI help formulate a Strategic HR function?

Before we start as always let me give you a few definitions of "Digital Transformation":

I like the last one but then again I would because I'm biased

So I started my usual journey of discovery and back onto my trusted Google I went using the search string “digital transformation” … guess what … 302,000,000 hits … aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!

We all seem to be so busy these days, what with digitization (including digital tax reporting); coping with the current economic situation; whilst managing constant changes in the internal and external business environments; I wonder if we are losing sight of the need to plan long-term.  The uncertainty of Brexit would also appear to have taken its toll on the normal planning cycle, with sixty-two percent of businesses having not yet undertaken a Brexit Risk Assessment and seventy-five percent having failed to plan to manage the potential financial impact of Brexit on their activities (acco

A painfully recurrent complaint among Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) is the disconnect between what they were promised during the recruitment process, and the actual situation they find upon starting the job.

Indeed, it is quite common to hear freshly-hired CISOs blame their less-than-smooth transition into the role on “broken promises” (some explicit and some simply assumed) such as inadequate resources or insufficient attention dedicated to cybersecurity by key stakeholders.

Given that AI and machine learning are permeating through all facets of an organisation, it is only natural to expect that Culture Building would be one of the key areas that stand to benefit.

How does the deployment of emerging AI digital technologies help build Culture?

For a while now, I have been helping companies to transition into an automated world where our human intellect is driven up the ladder by freeing us of the mundane tasks. It’s been a journey that some companies have thrived in and some have taken longer to adapt. To understand similarities, pitfalls, and the best deliveries, we need to look at how traditional ITIL Service Transition requires an evolution in this world of AI & Autonomic revolution.

Businesses understand the importance of engaged employees and its effect on their productivity and commitment levels. They now need to leverage AI based digital advancements to help their employees collaborate, connect and communicate with a prime focus on keeping them happy and lowering the attrition rate.

Consider this, we used to go to the movies or a theatre for entertainment. It was a shared experience with a large group of people.  Then we started to watch TV in our living rooms with our families, a smaller group. Now people watch videos on YouTube with headphones, a very individual experience.  Then, of course, we attempt to rebuild connection via comments.
