Is your AI strategy missing its most critical component? In his latest piece for the Forbes Tech Council, our CEO and Founder David Rai, dives deep into a hard truth facing many organisations today; AI strategy is failing because of workforce literacy.

While companies are racing to invest in the latest tools and infrastructure, many are overlooking the people who need to use them. Technology is only as powerful as the hands it’s in. If your team lacks the foundational “AI literacy” to understand, trust, and leverage these systems, even the most expensive digital transformation will stall.

Key Takeaways:
💡 The literacy gap: why technical implementation often outpaces cultural adoption.
💡 Empowering the workforce: shifting from “AI-replaced” to “AI-augmented.”
💡 Strategic resilience: how building a data-literate culture future-proofs your business.

The goal isn’t just to buy better tech, but to build better capabilities.
