No matter how sophisticated the company, the data still ends up in a spreadsheet. I've seen it at Fortune Top10 firms, as I worked at Shell in corporate finance. I've heard it from mid-market and fractional CFOs juggling a dozen clients. And it was the single most consistent pattern across every finance team I worked during building Excelinsight AI, by Accel IQ Digital. I joined Andreas Welsch on Intelligence Briefing podcast >>> to talk about what we're building and more importantly - WHY we built it the way we did. The honest answer: we spent 18 months talking to finance professionals and from listening to them we built our solution with those problems in mind. It was NOT about prototyping fast. Not shipping and hoping. >>>Listening. What they told us: ✦ They don't distrust AI - they distrust black boxes ✦ They need accuracy, not approximations ✦ They want to be faster, not replaced So we built around that. Layered validation. Deterministic calculations. Natural language that finance professionals can actually use without a prompt engineering degree. The goal was never automation for its own sake. It was giving CFOs and their teams the bandwidth to stop being historians of their own data >>> and start making forward-looking decisions. If AI in finance and operations is on your radar this year, I'm happy to share what we've learned.

Our CEO Adam Hadley CBE joined Tim Flagg on the UKAI Business of AI Podcast to make a case that most companies don't want to hear. Productivity gains do not come from layering AI onto existing workflows. The businesses pulling ahead are the ones doing the harder work first, by understanding how value moves through their organisation and redesigning around it. The non-negotiable for successful AI operationalisation is thinking strategically about where AI actually creates value.

🎧 AI Won’t Fix a Broken Business Most AI projects fail before the technology even matters. In this episode of The Business of AI Podcast, Adam Hadley CBE CEO of QuantSpark, explains why productivity gains do not come from layering AI onto broken workflows. The real challenge is understanding how value moves through a business and redesigning around it. From operating models to management quality, Adam argues the companies pulling ahead are not the ones running the most AI pilots, but the ones thinking strategically about where AI actually creates value. The risk now is not moving too fast. It is moving too slowly while competitors compound the advantage. 🎧 Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e8Vfw5mV 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/enVZQ3Ap #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #BusinessTransformation #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Leadership #FutureOfWork #UKAI #Podcast

AI pilots are easy. Scaling them into production is where the real challenge begins. In the latest episode of the AI in Business podcast, our Chief Strategy Officer, Lawrence Whittle, joins Marilie Fouche from Emerj Artificial Intelligence Research to discuss how enterprises can close the pilot-to-production gap in AI — from tighter scopes and faster iteration cycles to building truly integrated AI strategies. Key takeaway: successful AI adoption isn’t about experimentation alone — it’s about delivering measurable business value at scale. 🎧 Listen here: • Emerj Podcast: https://bit.ly/4uLQFxB • Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/4uIx2q8 • Spotify: https://bit.ly/3RDPr9c Thank you to Emerj Artificial Intelligence Research and Marilie Fouche for the conversation and collaboration. #ArtificialIntelligence #EnterpriseAI #DigitalTransformation #AIInnovation

AI fails if you don’t take into account the people that use it. Listen to Cortney Jonas Burnos talk about one of the biggest issues she sees in AI implementations.

One of the biggest mistakes companies make with AI is to focus entirely on the technology and not at all on the humans expected to use it. That's where implementations break down. AI fails really hard in environments where there's no focus on people. This was one of my favorite moments from my conversation with Susan G. Hunt on Stare Down the Bull. The future is not AI replacing humans. It's designing better systems where humans and AI work together effectively.
