Agility is a mindset rather than a process, and while teams may adopt agile frameworks, follow principles and genuinely want to work in an agile way, they will never truly succeed unless leaders have the appetite and courage to ...

Agentic AI is impacting every part of an organisation, from customer journeys to back office, supply chains and software engineering. Everything is changing at an accelerating speed, all at the same time, everywhere, all at once. In response, organisations don’t want drawn-out analysis engagements with consultants or long strategy projects; they want action. They want to quic...

Migrating a legacy codebase of any reasonable complexity has always been a challenging activity, but the economics of this migration have changed with the introduction of AI tools that can help with that process. Generating the code is cheap and quick, but we need to be confident that the generated code is as good (or better) than if we’d written it ourselves.

I had a...

Everyone is talking about agentic AI. That’s not surprising. The promise is huge: AI agents that can plan, reason, use tools, work across systems and get real work done. In software engineering, that could mean faster delivery and better quality. In operations, it could mean complex processes moving with less manual effort, fewer handovers and better decisions.

But th...
