    Episode #2 | People, Culture and The AI Workforce Shift

    By 2030, the World Economic Forum projects that AI and automation could create 170 million new jobs globally while displacing 92 million existing ones - a net gain, though one the WEF is careful to note won't be evenly distributed. It's a fitting backdrop for a conversation asking what organisations are actually doing to prepare for it. Richard Brown is joined by Chris Barber, Chief Executive of Lhasa Limited, and Philip White, Founder and Managing Director of Audacia, to talk through how AI is changing organisations and the work people do within them. Between a scientific research charity and a technology consultancy, the conversation covers how success with AI is measured, what it means for change management and hiring, and how accountability works when AI starts operating with less human oversight. --- Speakers Richard Brown: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-brown-2513b37a/ Chris Barber: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-barber-7032144/ Philip White: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipjwhite/ --- Sources mentioned World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2025: https://www.weforum.org/press/2025/01/future-of-jobs-report-2025-78-million-new-job-opportunities-by-2030-but-urgent-upskilling-needed-to-prepare-workforces/ --- About Audacia Audacia is an award winning technology consultancy, specialising in engineering, data, AI and cloud.

    Episode #1 | AI in Practice: From Pilot to Production

    Recent figures suggest that up to 88% of AI proofs of concept fail to reach live deployment - more than double the failure rate of traditional IT projects. In this episode of Technically Speaking, host Richard Brown is joined by Amy De-Balsi, an independent programme manager working in a highly regulated public sector environment, and Adam Brookes, Head of Consulting at Audacia, to explore why AI initiatives so often stall between proof of concept and production, and what it actually takes to close that gap. Grounded in real projects and first-hand experience, the conversation covers the full lifecycle of an AI initiative: from early ideation and feasibility, through pilots and governance, and into live deployment. --- Speakers Richard Brown: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-brown-2513b37a/ Amy De-Balsi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-de-balsi/ Adam Brookes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abrookes/ --- Sources mentioned AI Playbook for UK Government: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-playbook-for-the-uk-government --- Topics covered (0:00) Introduction(0:38) Meet the guests(1:38) What makes AI projects different?(4:57) What does productionisation actually mean?(8:11) From innovation freedom to live service(10:42) Building the business case for AI(14:36) Freeing people up, not replacing them(16:10) Guardrails as an accelerator, not a blocker(18:25) Accountability and human in the loop(19:48) Agentic AI and managing risk(24:08) The role of leadership(28:52) When a POC should fail(31:31) Avoiding the sunk cost trap(36:18) Defining "done" for non-deterministic systems(39:14) Cynics to champions(44:40) What's next for AI?(46:53) Key takeaways--- About Audacia Audacia is an award winning technology consultancy, specialising in engineering, data, AI and cloud.
