@Cambridge Spark X @Lloyds Banking Group – how do you develop the most AI-capable leadership team in banking? 🤝🚀 Thanks ComputerWeekly for covering this announcement! computerweekly.com/news/366621318…

How do you use AI to reimagine a business from the ground up? I asked the execs at Lloyds Banking Group this very question... 🎙️ 🍎 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/rei… 🎧 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/06ZBLo… ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=NjUz7x…

How can AI make a product manager's job easier? It's all about understanding customer needs. I talk about how this works here. 👇

AI is no longer only a tech priority... ❌ Instead, it’s central to business strategy. So those who set this – the CEO & executive team – must be AI-fluent.

10 years ago Raoul-Gabriel Urma completed his PhD here thanks to a scholarship. Now he's giving another student the same opportunity. A gift from Raoul, founder & Group CEO of Cambridge Spark , will help support a PhD student researching computing education. shorturl.at/YXO3V

What if the biggest barrier to tech transformation is your own mindset? You don’t need to make big investments. You just need to empower your people. Upskilling them will allow you to drive change quickly and effectively.

Want to realise the value from your investment in tech? Of course you do! But you could be risking sabotaging your competitive advantage, without even realising it. 🤔

AI success starts at the top. Because real ROI doesn’t come from tech – it comes from the people who know how to use it. And that starts with leadership. When those at the top commit to upskilling, it sends a powerful message: AI is a business priority.

52% of UK tech leaders are suffering an AI skills shortage in their teams. We need to fix that, sharpish, with targeted AI & Data training programmes. Believe it or not, this is exactly what we're doing at Cambridge Spark!

Companies are on the hunt for AI-skilled employees. So colleges should take note & build AI into curricula. That's surely a no-brainer. 🧠 Great to write on this for FE Week 👇 feweek.co.uk/job-markets-de…

These are the skills you need in the AI era: ️1️⃣ Learning agility 2️⃣ Curiosity 3️⃣ Adaptability 4️⃣ Proactivity 5️⃣ Intuition & common sense 6️⃣ Problem-solving 7️⃣ Systems thinking & design thinking 8️⃣ Sales & entrepreneurial 9️⃣ Data literacy & analytics 🔟 AI fluency

Are you building something people will actually get value from? Building apps and products has become super speedy using AI tools. But it’s important to remember that building isn't the solution in & of itself. Here's why user centricity is vital. 👇

78% of companies are using AI. But only 4% are getting major value from it (according to BCG). 🤔 Thanks Raconteur for the opportunity to write on this. The answer? Upskill the C-suite. Now. raconteur.net/technology/fir…

The carrot & the stick don't work. You can set all the right KPIs and still fail at AI adoption. To achieve lasting change, you have to change people's beliefs. That cultural change & belief system must be driven top-down, throughout the entire organisation.

AI in classrooms shouldn't come at the cost of core skills. Thanks FE News for the chance to pen this! The UK’s AI-in-education push is a good thing. But we need to protect critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication. fenews.co.uk/exclusive/prot…

Cambridge Spark is officially on The Sunday Times 100, Britain’s fastest-growing private companies, for the second year in a row! Here’s to continued growth, impact, and innovation. #SundayTimes100 #CambridgeSpark

All organisations can leverage data to improve their services. But they first need to empower their people with the skills to do so. In Jan 2024, Oxfordshire County Council partnered with Cambridge Spark to launch its Data and Digital Academy. youtube.com/watch?v=yT0xy8…

This is how to create change throughout your entire organisation. When you invest in someone's development, you're not just investing in them as an individual. You're investing in a champion that can drive wider influence. Here’s how that works. 👇

Yesterday I visited number 10 for a roundtable hosted by Matt Clifford, the PM’s Advisor for AI Opportunities, and the UK Sovereign AI Unit. The focus was on how the UK can attract and support top AI talent. Grateful to have been invited and to contribute to the conversation.

I see too many people getting swept up with exciting AI tools and capabilities. But if the tech doesn't solve a real-world problem, it’s useless. That’s why AI transformation must start with people rather than tools as Roxane Heaton BEM told me recently.
