Your AI adoption strategy is missing its most critical component
Start Up Magazine
March 10, 2026
he data on women and AI is alarming but the conversation we are having about it is completely wrong.

Here are some numbers that should stop every technology leader in their tracks: women are adopting generative AI at roughly 25% lower rates than men. Across 18 studies, more than 140,000 workers, a Federal Reserve survey found half of men used AI tools in the past year compared with just a third of women. The OECD found female workers were 20 percentage points less likely to report using ChatGPT than male colleagues in the same role.

The standard organisational response? More training. More tutorials. More access programmes.

It is not working. Because the problem was never a logistics problem.

Three Leadership Change Trends for 2021
LinkedIn
February 18, 2021
A number of people lately have been asking me what I think the trends in leadership and change are going forward, particularly considering the post and current pandemic environments. To answer this question, I feel whole-heartedly that many organisations have been in a survival mode and now need to transition to a thrive mode. I explain this is more detail in my previous article published last month (January 2021).

Transitioning from Surviving to Thriving
LinkedIn
January 14, 2021
When Covid-19 hit the globe at the start of 2020, organisations and people had to begin working very differently very quickly. People in offices had to immediately adopt a ‘working from home’ approach on an every day basis for at what started out to be thought of for a few weeks, or a month, has turned into an indefinite period of time.

Leading Change with Foresight for Growth
LinkedIn
November 02, 2020
The world is increasingly subject to significant change and while the focus is often on the potential implications of exponential technology developments like artificial intelligence, robotics, adaptive manufacturing, augmented and virtual reality for example, political, economic, and social change are also happening at break-neck speed. This range of future forces—together with the current pandemic—act on life, society, and business and add to our personal and organisational sense of complexity and uncertainty.

The Emotional Side of Organizational Change: How to Survive and Thrive
Routledge Publishers
January 15, 2026
Most people shy away from emotion, especially at work. Yet, when it comes to leading change, emotion is exactly what leaders can’t afford to ignore. This book lifts the lid on the part of change leadership that’s so often overlooked: how people feel. It explores why emotions drive behaviour, how they shape reactions to change, and what leaders can do to turn emotional resistance into resilience and momentum.

Change has become business as usual but that doesn’t mean leaders know how to manage it well. Too often, feelings are dismissed, ignored, or avoided altogether, leaving people demotivated and disengaged. And change is no longer a one-off event; it’s constant. Every leader, regardless of role or industry, needs to navigate shifting priorities, structures, and expectations. But while the pace of change has accelerated, our ability to deal with its emotional impact has not. This book offers a proven, people-first approach to leading change that works and puts understanding, empathy, and foresight at the heart of the process. Drawing on cutting-edge behavioural research and tested in organisations around the world, The Emotional Side of Organizational Change: How to Survive and Thrive is both practical and powerful. It combines foresight tools like horizon scanning and trend analysis with organisational development insights to help leaders design change that sticks for both the business and the people within it.

Whether you’re a functional business leader, HR professional, or change-maker, this book shows you how to navigate constant change with confidence, lead people through uncertainty, and build an organisation that’s truly future-ready.

Leading Change in an Unpredictable World
IGI Publishers
May 03, 2023
What does sustainable, resilient change look like?

Both leadership and change areas contested labels and they're is no universal definition. What is usefully understood by leadership and change is specific to the unique nature of a particular change and the evolving context within which it is being carried out. By passing attention to what is specifically needed in they moment around leaders and leading, changer leadership becomes an approach that is fit for a specific purpose and avoids becoming a genetic approach which is incapable of adjusting to local realities. By noticing how the context of Change is evolving and assumptions become validated and invalidated, so the fitness of the chosen approach is also kept under constant review.
