Understand what’s now and next in tech to get ahead

AI is today’s next big thing. Yet its benefits are flatlining. Gartner calculate that half the time reclaimed from AI goes to correcting errors and busywork.

Tech won’t change your business. Your people will.

To get ahead, don’t chase the hype. Identify how to adopt today’s tech and assess what’s coming next, bringing your people on the journey.

What’s Rethinking the Hype Cycle?

Tech hype is overwhelming and exhausting. I launched Rethinking the Hype Cycle to help business leaders cut through the noise and explore how tech innovation can help you get ahead by sharing no-nonsense digests, practical use cases and opinion pieces.
