Human Led; AI Enabled

Everywhere we look in our personal and work lives AI is becoming increasingly more prevalent. In so many ways it’s helping us to be more efficient and knowledgeable. So, it’s no wonder that organisations are continuously pushing leaders to realise more cost savings and efficiencies by introducing AI and automation. I rarely have a conversation with a leader at the moment where this is not one of the top priorities. Successful transformation starts with understanding the business problem not selecting a new process, framework or technology. Well, that’s obvious…or is it! Many leaders discuss their strategic plans with precision and gusto with their purpose at the heart of their plans. And then in the day-to-day work, somehow that north star gets lost a little. Leaders start to spot a process that’s not working, or hear about some new technology that they think will ‘transform’ a team or process. And then, just like that the equation is turned on its head. In this episode Realising Your Potential; The Podcast we shine a light on on Human led but AI enabled with Mark Heywood.

His experience in life and across sectors and teams has afforded him clarity on his purpose, ability to change and a willingness to continually learn. When you combine this with humility, drive and personability it’s no wonder Marcus has been able to achieve so much personally and in the businesses he leads No spoilers but listen in to hear Marcus talk us through his journey from childhood to executive and all the hurdles he overcame that have taught him to be his most authentic self.
