AI and resources: asking the right question
Most impact organisations use AI either in secret or with a guilty conscience. Neither is the right approach. The real question is not ‘whether’, but ‘where’.
Insights · Notes from practice
What I am learning right now.
This is where I write down what actually works in AI audits at NGOs, social enterprises and B-Corps, and what does not. Short, honest texts. No hype, no slides, no distant future. Just what has proven itself in everyday work.

Case Study
From the questionnaire to the presentation: 45 minutes that now feel like seconds
A managing director showed me, via a screen recording, how his sales team spends forty-five minutes typing in figures before every quote. I automated the repetitive clicking and left the three key decisions to human judgement. Why this approach works almost everywhere.

10-20-70: Why most AI projects fail when it comes to people
The BCG formula is uncomfortably simple: 10 per cent algorithm, 20 per cent data and technology, 70 per cent people, processes and culture. What this means in practical terms for your organisation, and where most people stumble at first.
Thinking · Tool Fatigue
You don’t need to try out every new AI. Depth beats breadth.
Thinking
Fewer tools, more depth, a quiet plea
Tool fatigue is a real thing, especially in small teams. Why I recommend learning two tools properly, rather than dabbling in twelve, and how you can justify this to the supervisory board.
