In the race to deploy agentic AI, organisations face a fundamental paradox: they’re building tomorrow’s autonomous systems on yesterday’s infrastructure. Drawing from the cloud transformation journey, this article explores how the same legacy architectures that constrain agentic AI also present an unprecedented opportunity. By retiring technical debt, organisations can clear the path for technological change that will define the next era of business competition. For Boards, the choice is clear: deploy agents within existing constraints, or use them to architect the foundation for future competitive advantage.

You’ve built your AI Centre of Excellence. It’s governing multi-speed adoption, delivering value, and - as we explored in the previous article - scaling beyond pilots to enterprise transformation. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: the AI landscape will look radically different in eighteen months. Multi-agent systems, decentralised agent ecosystems, embodied AI, neurosymbolic reasoning, quantum-AI hybrids, cross-modal intelligence, federated AI networks, and artificial superintelligence will challenge every governance framework you’ve carefully constructed. Having achieved scale, this final article tackles the strategic imperative of continuous evolution: how to future-proof your AI CoE to govern these disruptive technologies whilst building the adaptive capacity to thrive on change rather than being disrupted by it.

The successful completion of your AI Centre of Excellence’s first 90 days marks an important milestone, but it also brings into sharp focus the next critical challenge. Whilst the AI Initiative Rubric has proven effective for pilot selection and early wins have demonstrated value, the transition from isolated successes to enterprise-wide transformation requires fundamentally different approaches. This progression from pilot to scale represents one of the most significant hurdles in AI adoption, demanding new structures, governance models, and ways of thinking that go well beyond what initial success required.

This sixth article in my AI Centre of Excellence (AI CoE) series transforms theory into practice with a comprehensive 90-day implementation roadmap. Moving from capability building to value delivery, it introduces the AI Initiative Rubric - a systematic pilot selection tool that ensures your first initiatives deliver Well-Advised value whilst strengthening Five Pillars capabilities. Complete with sprint portfolios, stakeholder engagement strategies, and common pitfall avoidance, this article provides the practical guidance needed to demonstrate tangible AI CoE value from day one.

Last week, I had the privilege of delivering a keynote presentation at Monday.com’s Elevate conference in London. The topic, “Leveraging data and artificial intelligence (AI) for organisational transformation,” allowed me to challenge some common misconceptions about AI adoption and share practical insights on harnessing the power of existing data. In this post, I outline the key themes discussed and provide some additional context.

Earlier this week, I got the opportunity to speak at our Amazon Web Services (AWS) office in London, to an audience of Private Equity firms and their portfolio company executives about driving value creation through AI and data. The presentation focused on how Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies can drive value creation through AI and data. I also took the opportunity to introduce a new concept called the AI Stages of Adoption (AISA), which is designed to help organisations assess their maturity and readiness for AI adoption.

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances into the workplace rapidly, one of the most pressing questions on everyone’s mind is, “If machines can do our jobs faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost, what happens to us?” It’s true that AI is beginning to redefine the very essence of work, raising concerns about the potential displacement of knowledge workers. However, I’d like to propose an alternative perspective—one where those same workers earn the same or more whilst working far fewer hours.

I had an incredible afternoon as a guest lecturer at the The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) where I got to discuss harnessing AI for organisational transformation led from the Board, at this summer’s Data Science for Executives class.
