Governance breaks down the moment no one owns the decision. A couple of weeks ago I shared a simple way to think about data governance vs AI governance. Governing inputs vs governing outcomes. Ther…

Data isn't the hard part. Understanding each other is. Ontology. Lineage. Semantic layers. Vector databases. I've been in data for over 15 years, and sometimes even I feel like I'm decoding a forei…

Everyone talks about AI models. Very few talk about AI systems. When you look under the hood of most AI today, you rarely find just a large language model. You find layers. Context. Memory. Retrieva…

If AI feels both everywhere and strangely unclear, you’re not behind. You’re normal. Most execs I speak to aren’t confused about AI. They’re confused by the language. The same terms get thrown aroun…

Topics & Content Focus

Primary Topics

Enterprise AI governance as decision accountability (ownership, defendability, human-in-the-loop)AI systems thinking beyond models (LLM → RAG → agents → multi-agent/agentic orchestration)Executive AI literacy and shared language (de-jargonizing vendor/boardroom terminology)AI value architecture as a portfolio (rules + predictive + deep learning + GenAI + agents across workflows)Delivery reality of data/AI programs (scope, unknowns, compliance, adoption as the hidden failure mode)

Secondary Themes

Data quality and retrieval design as the true constraintOperational risk, monitoring, and governance operating modelsTool use, autonomy, and trust boundariesChange management and adoption enablementStrategy reframing from “cool demos” to measurable business outcomes

Industry Focus

Enterprise and regulated organisations adopting AI (board/executive-level decision contexts)Cross-functional data/AI leadership (product, risk, compliance, operations)B2B operational workflows where AI decisions can create customer/regulatory impact

Content Categories

Framework-led explainers (layered models, stacks, portfolios)Plain-English glossaries and translation posts for executivesGovernance and risk leadership takes (accountability, ownership, guardrails)Project delivery realism / post-mortem pattern recognitionAudience-led discussion prompts (diagnostic questions)

Common Hooks

Common Endings

Diagnostic question that forces self-assessment ("Which layer are you ready for?")Open loop for comments ("What terms would you add?" / "What’s the twist you’ve seen?")Share-trigger framing ("Repost to help someone…")Follow/newsletter CTA positioned as continued learning

Value Delivery Methods

Turns ambiguous AI hype into decision-ready mental modelsBridges technical concepts to operating-model consequences (ownership, monitoring, trust)Creates practical executive alignment tools (shared vocabulary, investment gap-mapping)Highlights non-obvious failure points (adoption, compliance timing, retrieval design)

Formatting Style

Skimmable micro-paragraphs with strong line breaksArrow bullets (→) for cause/effect and practical implicationsSection headers with ▶️ to create a guided walkthroughContrast blocks (Expectation vs Reality) to create narrative tensionEmphatic short sentences to land key claims ("Intelligence is the easy part.")

Writing style breakdown

Strategy is a choice.

Execution is a discipline.

Most leaders treat AI like a shopping list.

A bit of this model, a dash of that tool, and a pilot in every department.

But a collection of tools is not a strategy.

It’s a distraction.

When you look at the organisations actually moving the needle, they aren't doing more.

They are doing less, but with more intent.

They focus on three specific pillars

▶️ The Problem Anchor

They don't start with "What can this tool do?"

They start with "What is the most expensive bottleneck in our customer journey?"

If the AI doesn't solve that, it doesn't get funded.

▶️ The Data Foundation

They stop chasing the newest model and start fixing their legacy mess.

Clean, accessible, and governed data is the only thing that makes AI perform.

Without it, you are just automating errors.

▶️ The Human Bridge

They invest as much in change management as they do in compute.

If the team doesn't trust the output, the system will be bypassed.

Adoption is the only metric that matters.

Moving from "AI interest" to "AI impact" requires a shift in mindset.

It’s not about being the first to use a tool.

It’s about being the first to solve a problem at scale.

Is your current AI roadmap a list of tools, or a list of solutions?
