I think fractional services and non exective directors are they way to go to help business navigate the complexities of using AI at speed.

Fractional Services help a business grow in this Age of AI, whilst the business world adapts to seismic transformation and a whole new world of possibilities

Every year it is important to both grow ones understanding and to look to see how one can help the community as a whole grow. I have two complimentary areas of growth #DataGovernance and #ResponsibleAI
