1/ McDonald's worked out how to make broadly the same burger in nineteen countries. Not because every teenager behind the till is a culinary genius. Because the process does the work, not the person.

Thanks to Venture Café Edinburgh, Future Worlds, ARIA, CodeBase, CoreWeave, and the Edinburgh Futures Institute for a thoughtful evening. 🙏 Exactly the kind of honest conversation the sector needs more of. #AI #Edinburgh #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #ServiceDesign #Innovation

The future belongs to those who own their data, their models, and their AI strategy.

As someone working across business analysis, service design, product and transformation: The real opportunity isn’t just adopting AI tools. It’s redesigning how organisations work around them.

The “Next Big Thing/s” slide was thought-provoking: → AI Agents for autonomous task completion → Physical AI - humanoid robots, surgical robotics → Human + AI collaboration (augmentation, not replacement) The “?” at the end of the capability curve felt very honest. 🤔

AI for Safe Climate Interventions” was a highlight. A strong reminder that AI’s most significant value might not be productivity gains, it could be helping tackle genuinely large-scale scientific and societal challenges.

Peeling Back the Curtain: Why AI Projects Stall Before Production. This session hit hard. The message: it’s rarely the model that’s the problem. It’s unclear problem definition, weak data foundations, governance gaps, and not being operationally ready.
