In this episode Mark Rothwell-Brooks is in conversation with Ken Coyne of OpsTalent for Ken's podcast series #techpeople.

The conversation cuts through the AI hype to confront a hard truth: without fixing fragmented data and messy processes, AI will simply amplify existing problems. Mark explains why “digital transformation is dead” as a mindset, why many organisations remain stuck in AI proof-of-concept mode, and how leaders can move faster by delivering data value in parallel with long-term foundations.

The conversation explores real use cases, regulatory implications in the Gulf, and why AI will augment — not replace — humans as organisations shift from experimentation to operational impact.
