In today’s EveryDay AI newsletter, I’m sharing this morning’s appearance on Today Extra. It was a challenge to talk about new AI tools, how they’re used in your work and personal life and how to keep your data safe in 5 minutes – but I think I managed. Tell me what you think. Did I […]

Atlassian Put AI Under the CPO. That Matters More Than the Layoffs. On 11 March 2026, Atlassian made global headlines for the wrong reasons. Six weeks later, they made one of the most important — and quietest — moves in enterprise AI strategy this decade. The story has barely been told. So let me tell

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been refining the Future-Proof Talent Model. Not changing the thinking behind it — just honing it. Making it sharper, cleaner and more useful.

In March, I completed a 5-city roadshow with mortgage brokers through Connective, and three things became very clear. Most mortgage brokers are still experimenting with AI. Very few are using it in a way that is strategic, secure, and commercially useful. This isn’t surprising – it’s what I’m finding across all industries. In this video,

I saved the worst for last! lol Seriously, my engineering and accounting friends may absolutely love this feature. You can tell in the video that I wasn’t overly enthused. But if you know me you know why. Detail…am I right? Anyway, give it a go. I’d LOVE to know what you think!

I spent the long Easter weekend diving into the 2026 The Australian Financial Review BOSS Best Places to Work Awards. What stood out to me wasn’t the list itself. It was the pattern beneath it. Because when you look closely at what actually earned these organisations recognition, you don’t see incremental improvement on the standard
