For many businesses, the first step into AI is implementing a large language model or tool like ChatGPT or Copilot.
But they're forgetting one critical step: training their people.
Without clear guidance, teams start uploading customer data, spreadsheets, contracts and internal documents into public LLMs without thinking about:
-GDPR compliance
-Intellectual Property risks
-Data security
-Where that information actually ends up
AI isn't just a technology project; it's a people and governance project.
If you're rolling out AI without policies and education, you might be creating more risk than value.
šļø We dive into this and why AI training should come before AI adoption in the latest podcast episode.
šļø Episode 1 of Speaking Your Language is now live.
People: The forgotten AI transformation step that can lead to success or failure.
Most AI projects don't fail because of the technology. They fail because people aren't brought on the journey.
In the first episode, Marco is joined by Simon Drinkwater from Vantor Advisory to discuss why successful AI adoption starts with a clear strategy, honest communication, and getting your team involved from day one.
If you want an AI transformation that actually sticks, this one's for you.
Less hype. More help. The no-nonsense podcast for AI in business.

There's an AI issue most teams haven't named yet.
It's called unstructured reliance.
Nearly half of all AI interactions are now people asking it to think, not just do.
That's the part of the latest adoption data that should be getting more attention. AI isn't quietly speeding up tasks in the background anymore; it's shaping how people interpret, decide, and act. And almost none of that is happening through a structured rollout. It's happening through behaviour.
This creates a problem most organisations haven't named yet - āunstructured relianceā. Trust in AI outputs is climbing faster than anyone's ability to verify them. Scrutiny drops as the tech improves. Faster work, slower decisions.
The organisations pulling ahead aren't the ones pushing more AI. They're the ones tightening the layer underneath it; meaning governed data, shared definitions, a single version of the truth. That way AI becomes an interface, instead of a multiplier of risk.

You're a sports organisation. Your ticket sales are up. But do you actually know why?
Most ticketing systems will show you the growth, but they won't show you which lever pulled it, or how to pull it again.
Hereās Configurās CEO, Marco Oliver, on why the sports industry is sitting on a goldmine of data, and the one thing most organisations are still missing.

Your compliance report looks polished, but the process behind it probably isnāt.
Behind every report tends to be a huge amount of manual reconciliation, lots of pulling information from disconnected systems, teams chasing missing or conflicting data and a fair bit of firefighting.
Days of work often go into producing a report that becomes outdated the moment itās finished.
In most organisations, youāll keep improving the reporting layer, refining processes and learning the workarounds.
But really, this isnāt a reporting problem; itās a data problem.
How much time is your team spending stitching systems together just to get a clear picture?

AI adoption isnāt the story anymore.
How people are using it is.
The latest data shows AI isnāt just being used to complete tasks. Itās being used to think, interpret and shape decisions.
That changes things...
Because if AI is influencing decisions, the question isnāt speed. Itās whether the answers are right.
Weāve broken down whatās actually happening and what it means for businesses in our latest article.
