Presentation at the BI Techfest Online 28 September 2021 https://techfestivals.com/bi/ This presentation mostly covers organisational and change management associated with building a high performing business intelligence and data analytics team.
Artificial intelligence is now a first‑order cyber risk driver, as well as a productivity tool. AI‑accelerated threats, fragile model “harnesses,” and concentrated dependence on a few vendors demand urgent uplift in governance, resilience, and incident response.
Generative AI has hit the peak of inflated expectations. The Gartner Hype Cycle reminds us we've been here before - and shows why governance, not hype, and doing the work still matters.
AI isn’t magic. It’s change management (and people). Ignore that at your peril.
On ANZAC Day 2026 I remember the ordinary diggers behind the legend and reflect on Australia’s place in an emerging multipolar world, from Gallipoli to today’s conflicts.
