The same but very (very) different. I really enjoyed one of my customer discussions last week (they can go off on many tangents) and this one considered the world of today and the role of IT. My comment, quite a bold one, “now feels different”, and by d…lnkd.in/eAsCE-2H

When your “purpose” is greater than “you”. Let’s face it, this year has started in an “interesting” fashion. Whether its digital or paper based news, the UK and indeed the broader world could be viewed as quite a gloomy place at present. Macro-economic c…lnkd.in/eEakgYGw

@Stevehatherly Hahahaha. The fight was equally as captivating

Generative AI. The shining light for security – “maybe, maybe not”. It’s almost impossible to avoid the end of the stream of news, journals and discussions about the potential for generative AI as a result of the recent ChatGPT updates and announcements.…lnkd.in/e6AEjJqF
