Lee Wearne is Operations Director at Insight Consulting, and has spent sixteen years in data and analytics, long enough to be healthily suspicious of technology that impresses in a demo and disappoints on a Monday. His recent MBA thesis on governance for human-centric AI platforms, is a formal way of saying he cares more about whether people can trust a system than whether it is clever. He builds AI into business functions on their own data, on the principle that it should make life easier for the people who touch it.
Session Overview
AI in Your Business Function, Live Demo!
Most AI sessions show you a chatbot writing an email. This one shows a business function doing its work.
It is built on a live demonstration using a real commercial dataset and the kind of open question a leader asks when the numbers land badly. We look at what an output has to carry before anyone acts on it. Something you can use and automate for month end , the working behind it. We will look at collaboration in folders and how to ensure the right setup so that AI uses the right data and files. Point capable AI at a disorganised content estate and it will answer confidently from the wrong source. i.e. Foundations and governance decide whether the rest works.
The close is practical: how to pick a first step that ships rather than another pilot that stalls. One function, one body of content you trust, one question worth answering.
Three Tangible Learnings
Learning 1: What AI doing the actual work of a business function looks like, and what its output has to carry before you can trust it: something genuinely usable, the workings behind it, and an honest account of what the data could not tell you.
Learning 2: Why foundations and governance have to come before the AI layer, and what “AI-ready” actually means for an organisation’s content and data. Get the order wrong and you end up paying more for the same disorder.
Learning 3: How to scope a genuine first use case rather than a pilot that never ships: one function, one well-governed body of content, one question worth answering, and an output someone would be willing to act on.
