Real talk: Is your AI strategy a "cost centre"? 📉

Are you funding a cute toy or building a central nervous system?

We are living through the "Deployment Phase" of the AI hype cycle, but a reckoning is coming.
I call it The Great AI Audit of 2026.

In this episode, we rip the band-aid off your corporate strategy.
We discuss why most AI initiatives are bleeding cash and why your Board of Directors is about to stop asking about "prompt engineering" and start demanding to see the P&L line.

What we cover:

• The "Productivity Theatre" Trap: Why tools that summarise emails won't save your Q4 numbers.
  
• Chatbot vs. Backbone: How to move from vanity projects to agentic workflows that actually drive margin.
  
• The Grenade Analogy: Why we really automate (Hint: It’s not just to cut headcount; it’s to keep humans safe).
  
• The Q2 Mandate: A ruthless playbook for killing low-value projects and redirecting capital to what matters.
  

Stop selling potential.
Start delivering margin.

Tune in to future-proof your career before the audit begins.
