Nominations for Awards 2024- CMCE
RSS feeds WordPress
July 25, 2024
I am flattered by the nomination for the CNCE Awards 2024 considering the initial skepticism towards artificial intelligence that existed. Articles chosen underline required changes for consultants. “Embrace AI in Strategic Management” outlines the use of analytics to make decisions as well as develop. “The Death of Management Consulting” on the other hand posits that business models need to be redefined with power given back to customers while at the same time coming up with new competitive strategies. These insights show why consultants need to offer something different from any other profession and show customers how they can always be ahead of their time through reinvention using emerging technologies.

This analysis shows a rapid and steady market growth prediction for synthetic data.Synthetic data is made up information created by computers to look like real data. It's used when real data is hard to get or could invade people's privacy. This data helps train artificial intelligence safely without risking sensitive information. Studies predict more AI data will be synthetic in the future. Synthetic data is cheaper and faster to produce than collecting real data, and it avoids privacy risks. However, it might not always accurately reflect real-life situations. There's also a need to update laws and privacy rules to handle synthetic data properly
Impostor Syndrome in AI Adoption: A HRM Perspective- (published on HR Future)

Employees increasingly question their own worth in these environments --even when they are not performing technically difficult tasks. A McKinsey Report in 2024 reported that 56% of employees in AI-integrated workplaces had to bear moderate to high impostor syndrome. The fear can slow down AI adoption and eat away at workforce confidence.

When electric cars were launched, many people thought they would quickly become popular also because of the initial excitement. However, electric cars were adopted much slower than first forecast.

AI makes many hopes too high. Companies must see the truth of what AI can do now versus later dreams. Run small tests first. Ask experts for guidance from experience, and listen to lessons learned by peers using AI. Teach staff and investors what AI can achieve today; share realistic examples. Admit current weak spots like missing sarcasm. Set the right expectations on costs, speed of progress, and early mistakes. As an honest leader, show the technology as it is, no exaggeration. Moving ahead as a team knowing real limits builds trust, and patience for slow help from AI. Step-by-step makes progress over the years. Eyes open to both future hope and present work.

Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) replace Human Leaders in organisations?
RSS feeds WordPress
February 10, 2024
AI can assist human leaders, but not replace them. Leading relies on human bonds - trust, inspiration, emotional connection. AI lacks these qualities. However, AI can provide data insights, automate tasks, and improve choices, freeing up leaders to focus more on strategy and people. The future is not humans versus machines in leadership, but rather synergizing the analytical skills of AI with the empathy, creativity, and inspiration uniquely human leaders bring.

With £100 million to address risks, the future with AI looks brighter than ever. New government plans seem to guide AI in a balanced way. By supporting new thinking but also more oversight, they take a "flexible safeguards" approach. This gives me hope for AI bettering lives and the economy. Rules will develop carefully to allow progress while limiting risks. Training regulators on specific industries builds trust. Major research money shows commitment to responsible AI. If we work together thoughtfully, AI can keep improving society in ethical ways.
Work Too Hard, Burn Too Fast: When Overwork Culture Meets New Workplace Tech
RSS feeds WordPress
February 07, 2024
Many workplaces now demand constant work with no rest. This “always on” culture is unhealthy and hurts performance. Researcher Malissa Clark closely studies work addiction harms in her book Never Not Working. She shows overwork ruins health while not even helping companies long-term.
At the same time, workplace AI promises big gains through automation. But toxic overwork culture clashes with adopting AI. Lacking balance and rest, staff burn out. They cannot gain new tech skills or lead AI humanely.
Companies that want AI success while allowing overwork, are going to cause their own failure. They drain worker health essential for AI guidance. With compassion and limits, people can thrive along with smart algorithms. Visionary bosses must rebuild culture for a bright future.

RSS feeds WordPress
January 28, 2024
Companies today are rapidly developing artificial intelligence systems that impact people's lives in many ways. That's why it's crucial we put the needs of all stakeholders—like employees, customers and communities—at the centre when creating AI. By listening openly to diverse groups, companies can better understand how their AI tools might frustrate or confuse certain users. This allows them to customise the technology to align with human requirements. Continuous engagement enables catching issues early so AI can keep enhancing real experiences. When companies collaborate inclusively with stakeholders for input, they make more responsible innovations that aim to serve people rather than replace them. This co-creation helps ensure AI decisions are fair and benefit society broadly over time. The key is focusing first on those impacted by AI to drive better outcomes for all.

Most of all, thoughtful AI tools can make every citizen's time dealing with the government much easier and hassle-free. Smart chatbots that understand you can help fill out complicated forms. This makes getting assistance simple for all people instead of just those who can handle complex rules. But big challenges around safety, skills and responsible development are important to overcome. Many people rightly still worry about privacy risks or losing human accountability if AI is unchecked. That's why this expert guide is so valuable now. It guides government capacities step-by-step to thoughtfully create public sector AI projects focused on ethics, care, and human monitoring from the beginning.
Learning from the Past (Digital Adoption) for the AI Future
RSS feeds WordPress
January 04, 2024
Over the last ten years, adding digital stuff to companies showed important lessons around technology, organisations, culture, and responsible innovation. Now, AI promises big advances, but turning ideas into real solutions faces familiar obstacles that have tripped up past efforts.
Looking at digital history gives an AI roadmap to adopt responsibly. There were overlooked real-world challenges to solve first. AI risks similar issues if focused too much on stats. The key is shifting ideas into solutions that solve actual business problems and help people. Things like training staff, checking data bias, and monitoring impacts matter. If people are informed and involved, AI can progress responsibly. But assuming systems will smoothly integrate risks repeating past mistakes that failed. Keeping humans central just makes common sense.
The business case for AI and Automation? Realising the Full Potential and Tangible Value of Staff Liberated by Automation

January 02, 2024
Companies want to use automation to free up employee time for more important work.
But to really make this happen, leaders need a plan.
They should figure out how to use the new free time across departments - like sales learning about customers more or better finance saving costs.
Then, if possible, set goals to achieve hard money targets, like specific amounts of new revenue.
Tackle problems early that would slow success. Also, use AI's help while still counting on people to lead creatively. Getting real about the money automation frees up to earn elsewhere matters.
With a careful blueprint in place at every step, leaders can fully benefit as staff focus on the smartest responsibilities automation now allows.
Progress Over AI Pace: Agility’s Guiding Hand

December 31, 2023
New tech like AI brings tons of change quick. Companies need flexibility to keep up. Being agile means trying stuff out, working cross-functionally, and making constant small improvements. It keeps people front and centre as tech progresses. Some organisations handled COVID disruption well by being targetedly agile in key areas. For AI specifically, agility helps implement tools responsibly and adapt them to actual human needs. It guides swift AI progress through an ethical lens. Rather than let AI overwhelm us, agility makes it serve us. So, I'd say agility is critical for rolling out AI in a human-friendly way.

Studies show business trust in AI is high but uneven - AI leader executives have more trust. Building trust requires a strategic focus on pillars like transparency. More research on a common framework for trust in AI is needed to guide business uses. Overall, US businesses do trust AI, but ensuring ethical, fair AI will further increase it.

The UK has published guidelines for responsible AI use to build trust while encouraging innovation. Strategies include transparency in how systems work so people can understand them. Existing regulators oversee AI instead of new bodies. Current laws apply until dedicated AI rules come.

There are also questions around balancing economic gains versus rising inequality from AI, and managing this complex, fast-changing technology. More debate is expected to shape protective, progressive AI rules.

Employees gain protection against excessive tracking and job loss while allowing innovation. The Act signals consensus on ethical AI development by anchoring rules in EU values of accountability and transparency.

Enterprise tech buyers in 2025 are shifting toward shorter planning horizons, reflecting caution amid global uncertainty. While interest in agentic AI is high, real adoption lags due to governance gaps, integration hurdles, and a shortage of practical skills. Reports from Constellation Research and PwC confirm AI boosts productivity and pay—especially in digital-heavy sectors—but highlight a growing divide between well-resourced firms and others. Vertical AI use-cases show promise, yet many organisations lack readiness. Success now depends on deeper integration, stronger governance, and aligning people strategies with real-world AI deployment challenges.

I just finished reading Constellation Research’s report on enterprise tech buying trends for the first half of 2025, and I’ve got to say—it really hits on a lot of themes I’ve been seeing in my own work. One thing that stood out right away was the shift toward shorter planning horizons. Enterprises are playing it cautious, and honestly, that makes sense. Between ongoing geopolitical tensions and uncertain market signals, a conservative approach feels more like smart risk management than hesitation.
Agentic AI and the Future of Decision Making: Master or Sidekick?

Agentic AI and Decision making for manage strategy and operations: what we can or we can't do for risks and competitive advantage. agentic AI—intelligent systems that can autonomously act on data within human-defined goals—should serve as our “decision-making sidekick” rather than replacing us. These systems excel in structured environments by handling tasks like data analysis, scenario planning, and workflow orchestration. But in ambiguous or high-stakes contexts, human judgement—shaped by empathy, intuition, and ethical reasoning—remains essential. Collina stresses the need to bake adaptive leadership, empathy, and robust governance into AI roadmaps. Ultimately, he envisions agentic AI augmenting human capabilities—enhancing efficiency and insight—while humans stay in control, especially when nuance and moral responsibility matter most.

Conversely, the UK and Europe have chosen to be more prudent while adopting AI for practical purposes in sectors such as healthcare, finance and manufacturing.
This confirms that both these regions are safer when it comes to AI bubbles than America since they:
- Showcase varied AI markets
- Concentrate efforts on B2B artificial intelligence products
- Are more cautious due to stronger monitoring framework

The respective solutions include having framework powered audit on prejudice as well as embracing IBM’s inclusive measures concerning programming language on Artificial Intelligence (AI);Goggle’s ethics regarding Fair AI works; Salesforce’s HR approach focusing on diversity; and finally but not least – continuous track by Microsoft on this matter. Consequently, the gender sensitivity within the development stages has appeared as one of the areas where such developments would be used as tools in promotion[2].Gender biased algorithms used by artificial intelligence lead to injustice against individual people and lose making possibilities due to the absence of viable options from competition as well as stagnant business productivity due to lack of trust among other companies.

I am glad to share this new research, "Unlearning the Past and Upskilling the Future: Consultants' Readiness to Embrace New Technologies” Luca Collina- Marianna Papastefanou " that is of interest to those professionals and expert consultants considering the current or future use of AI, Generative AI: and Automation.
The research aims are based on the fact new innovative technology can request to totally or partially "unlearn" previous knowledge to make space for the new one by exploiting and using AI.
How is the concept of unlearning considered?
Ability to distinguish and accept old knowledge and explore new knowledge
Unlearning: Mental models- Outdated assumptions; Perspectives not balanced with the past
Consultants biases about resistance or use of AI

New Quote for my New Columnist's role with The Financial Business Review
RSS feeds WordPress
September 05, 2024
This quote can represent the transition from the GARTNER HYPE CURVE when we have left "the hype" level and are now in the Trough of Disillusionment.
Briefly, this phase normally manifests from users, in this case Companies, Users of the first phase of Hype ( excitement interest, investments, speculations) when the exaggerated expectations are disappointed by
low quality
low reliability
of solutions, both from AI core producers, start-ups with their tools and solutions core-products based.
In addition, there are still so many open issues which are not fixed by regulations or laws ( ethics, Privacy, deep-fakes, and this is not an exhaustive list, but I hope it can give an idea.).
For some generations, which have lived the period of the dot.com hype and consequent Bust Bubble
Baby Boomers - born around 1946-1964- during the bursting of the dot com bubble, a large number of them were already at their top positions as managers or in other senior level positions of the IT industry or finance or any other sector affected by the bubble’s effect.
2. Generation X—born between 1965 and 1980—During the dot-com bubble, they were mostly in their 20s until they were 35 years old. Many of them were either launching careers or working at this point and consequently had practical knowledge concerning the rise and fall of tech companies.
3. Older Millennials- born between 1981 and 1986- Some older millennials might have been teenagers or young adults during the dot-com crash, mainly if they were interested in technology since the trends used to exist at that time or had relatives directly affected by the stock market crash.
These generations ( I belong to baby boomers btw) are living this period not with caution but with fear and anxiety, something that doesn't help to examine investigate analyse and evaluate both opportunities, risks but mainly to postpone any of informed decision about the AI adoption to bring benefits to their Companies and employees.
My active role is to bring more elements with publishing in Academic - Busine/academic journals to support with factual evidence what AI can or can't do.
After the hype, it's time to get back to business—with AI along the way.

According to GARTNER Hype life-cycle, GEN-AI is now in the Trough of Disillusionment. Now there are challenges for different companies status, of which two of them have the opportunity to clarify technology and those that continue with experimentation towards AI activation.
For both types is the best moment to shape and deepen AI Literacy ( Education and practice). ging back to business is how experimentation, clarity are closer to both day to day operations and strategic endeavours.

The concept of Preparedness- both personal and group readiness with time taken into consideration combined with potential outcomes from a realistic point of view, are vital ingredients towards achieving success. Whether looked at from the perspective of philosophy or religion, the core idea remains the same: preparedness in combination with timeliness and patience enables us wait for a point when each and everything falls in its place. my grandma and my Mum became frustrated in repeating it for years.
Do preparation and readiness ring a bell about AI adoption?

I have been, in a sense, a seeker on the path of finding new ways to solve problems, and it has taken me to the world of academia, where I have publications in prominent journals with other scholars on topics ranging from ethics and corporate social responsibility to AI and Leadership.
The last papers have shared lessons from dot-com and electric vehicle hypes to ensure executives and senior managers do not commit similar failures within the AI ecosystem.
My next big step includes AIBI AI and Business, an upcoming online interactive course that I will be following to share the validated models, frameworks, and advice . This course represents the next step in my journey, where the knowledge and experiences gained are actionable for executives and practitioners.
"AI WAITS FOR NO HUMANS"
RSS feeds WordPress
April 07, 2024
AI is growing super fast—really, way faster than other tech ever did before. It keeps getting smarter at understanding data, working faster, and making complex decisions, all by itself. Unlike the old tech, AI doesn't wait for us to catch up, but keeps pushing forward.
AI is intelligent in itself. It learns, adapts, and decides things without our being the one to tell it what to do. That means it will not stop for us just because it might be bringing another big thing that we are not ready for.
In other words, we are going to have to do some serious soul searching in regard to our relationship with AI. In fact, this area needs to be preempted in areas of business and especially health and medicine so that we can realize how to fit AI into our world.
Everybody, not just the techy people, has to stay tuned for AI. It will be essential to ensure that all of us are going to be on board, handling the changes and challenges coming from AI. In short, the watch for AI is going to form such a huge fraction of our life.

I have accepted with joy the opportunity to deliver a speech online on Wednesday, the 17 of January, at the GENERATIVe AI CONFERENCE with the presentation
"Human-Centric Approach to AI Adoption”
Artificial Intelligence promises immense opportunity. However, we must proactively guide its development to align with human values and priorities - to augment our talents equitably rather than replace them recklessly. Key principles like ethics, workforce empowerment, participative design, trust-building, and human-AI collaboration can allow us to adopt AI judiciously as a partner in progress, not a foe of the future..

June 03, 2024
* The regulations are implemented to reduce or minimise any AI-associated risks. Different jurisdictions, such as the EU, the US, and the UK, have regulations. Business organisations must have ways to predict and face these risks rather than wait for the regulations
*business leaders need to establish standards for good AI. Leaders should empathise with how AI operates and its impact, as well as with privacy, ethics, and other stakeholder considerations.
* Companies must remain alert about changing laws. They must collaborate with local legal professionals and establish global practices for ethical AI use. This will help them keep the business consistent and be trusted.
* it is up to business leaders to be involved, informed, and aware of reaping more from AI in ways that will ensure it gets applied correctly and fairly.

Fact-checkers to reduce misinformations with AI
Date : December 03, 2023
Digital misinformation has already affected several areas of human life. In addition to Governances, recognised facts in political elections, and referendums in the recent past, with further AI and ML development that can generate and modify pictures, videos, and texts and create fake news, AI fact-checkers, even with their challenges related to further development and tuning LLM and NLP to a wide number of evidence to be checked, can represent a valuable resource to fight misinformation, in areas like Politics, Academia, Medicine, Health Research, and Business ( Finance, Financial markets, products and services) through a parallel people responsibility to make ethical use of them to ripristinate the ethical value of information.
New approaches for strategy management with AI- the end or refreshing of classic tools?
Date : October 04, 2023
Most companies today still use traditional tools for making business strategies. But in the future, AI could start changing how strategy is done. AI may bring new capabilities that complement classic methods. For instance, AI can rapidly analyse customer data to detect shifts in demand. It can also quickly model different scenarios to foresee market changes. This could make planning faster and more data-driven. However, AI has limits, like lacking human judgment and creativity. So, pure AI-driven strategy may never fully replace human strategists. Rather, the optimal path forward could be combining AI strengths with human strengths. AI may become an enhancement for strategists, not a replacement. The future likely holds a hybrid model, with AI and classic tools working together in new approaches to strategy. However, widespread adoption is still gradual as companies test these uncharted waters. Strategy and Ai.
Smaller AI models cost less money to use. That saves companies money when they use these models. Companies can also adjust the smaller models to be good at certain jobs. So if a company needs an AI to do one specific thing, they can customize a smaller model just for that job. That makes the model work better. Lastly, with smaller models, companies can have tighter control over the data they put into the model. That's important so they make sure their data stays private and secure. Lots of companies want to protect customer data and business information. The smaller AI models help with that.
So the main reasons are: cheaper to use, can be customized to be great at certain tasks and helps protect important data.
The end of AI and ML "back box" with XAI- Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Date : October 04, 2023
ML and AI have been developed to optimise models by increasing accuracy or decreasing prediction error. However, this approach often overlooks the importance of understanding why and how your ML model makes the predictions that it does. Explainable AI (XAI) seeks to increase transparency within artificial intelligence systems by offering explanations of their decisions, thus increasing trustworthiness for individuals using these technologies and increasing human-align decision-making by showing how AI systems make choices and operate. Overall, this XAI initiative hopes to illuminate its "black box", creating more fair, accountable, and human-aligned systems through understandable actions and decisions made by AI systems.
Trust in AI-individuals about trust in AI, and what is expected from employees, managers, executives
Date : October 04, 2023
Right now, most regular people don't trust AI fully. Employees, managers and executives know trusting AI has risks. But some AI can be trusted for certain tasks if built right. More transparency on how AI works is needed to increase trust. With the right trust, AI adoption and new processes can thrive. However too much trust in unreliable AI can hurt accountability and let biases go unseen. The goal is balanced trust - enough to gain AI benefits but still verify its decisions. Increased trust can enable innovation, but blind trust in AI can damage workplace culture.
Consolidation of Management models' disruption towards new Management innovation models
Date : December 26, 2022
The world since Mintzberg has proposed a different model to Hierarchical/Bureaucratic Management model.
The last period related to both COVID and the supply chain disruption as a first cause of review Management model sand not only the organisational ones, will open a door to Management disruptive innovation towards flexibility adaptation, dynamics and people-centric approaches. The impact will be on
- Leadership ( already debated and discussed with an overwhelming theories and suggestions)
- Culture
- Human centric approach for change ( and from here Hybrid-Change models)
- Effective practices of Business strategies and growth
- Different approach to Digital Transformation.
What is still missed is the description of the transactional period which need to safeguard business as usual ( BAU) but being utilised as scapegoat for failures by current management systems and models,
Embodied AI, or AI systems with physical form, will become more common beyond phones and computers. Though some will look human-like, many will likely have unique, engaging designs to make them more relatable and fun. As AI spreads to more parts of our lives through toys, home devices, and more, these creative physical forms will help people accept and bond with AI, despite its flaws. In time, friendly, helpful AI could become a regular part of our homes and daily routines.
Increasing the use of AI as an assistant companion
Date : February 02, 2024
More people will use AI to assist them with daily tasks and decisions. AI will help with research, data analysis, writing, and other jobs, acting as a tireless digital helper. Some may even delegate complex planning like vacations or ordering food to AI. As AI improves, it could take over annoying automated calls or even pre-screen dates. With many finding companionship in AI chatbots already, AI friends who conversate and provide company will likely become more advanced and widespread. In time, AI assistants, delegates, and companions could integrate deeply into how we work and live.
Overlooked or delayed because of LLMs race and development
Date : February 20, 2024
Small AI language models today are useful for many businesses to do specific tasks at a low cost. But these small models might struggle to keep up with huge, fast advances in bigger models that have broader abilities. So the risk is that the bigger AI models could start to do so many more and better things that businesses no longer need or want the smaller models. The small AI models may not be able to compete
