Most of us have used ChatGPT, Claude, CoPilot or one of the many AI platforms.

Yet few of us really understand how to integrate AI into our organizations so that we get maximum benefits with the fewest possible disruptions.

Meet Dr. Michael Kollo, Chief of AI Transformation at Qualitas and author of "Future-Ready with Generative AI".

He spent over 20 years in quantitative finance at BlackRock, Fidelity, and AXA before pivoting to help organisations navigate AI transformation.

Michael has delivered AI programs to ANZ (4,000 staff), Macquarie, IFM Investors, and HESTA.

He holds a PhD from the London School of Economics and hosts the Curious Quant podcast

On this episode of a Seat at The Table Mike will be discussing

• Why AI transformation is fundamentally a mindset challenge, not a tools challenge.
• How the patterns he learned as a quantitative analyst during the 2008 financial crisis help him see through today’s AI hype.
• How language-based AI is different from previous automation, and why that changes the way leaders need to think about organizational design and human roles.
• How to help teams adapt to AI without creating panic or paralysis.

So let’s sit down with Mike and get an insider’s view of how to successfully bring AI into our organizations.

How often have we experienced a meeting that we think went really well. Everyone on the team agreed what needed to be done.

But then nothing actually got done. Or work was started but goals were not met.

Why? How did the train jump the track after everyone seemed to understand what to do?

Today we are joined by the fabulous Amie Fox. Amie helps leadership bridge the gap between ‘good ideas’ and ‘clear actions’ in order to create the kind of consistent behavior across teams that leads to meeting targets.

In this episode of A Seat at The Table, Amie will talk about

• Why decisions that sound clear in meetings often break down once teams are back at work
• What the signs are that managers have interpreted the same decision in different ways
• Why shared accountability often leads to confusion rather than clarity
• The simple things leaders can do to make expectations clearer for their managers

If you’re ready to take your organization from confusion to clarity, then let’s sit down with Amie.

If you’re like most senior executives, you never get enough rest.

I know I rarely do.

There’s always 10 more things that need to be done – and another 10 ready to add to that list.

We think that we can handle an ‘always on’ schedule, but what looks like high level productivity might actually be making us less efficient.

Today we’re joined by the fantastic Shalece Daniels, who specializes in helping high-pressure leaders downshift their nervous system in 90 seconds or less so decisions land clean and communication stays steady, without collateral damage.

After building and operating a seven-figure real estate investment and property management firm, Shalece created FLOW, an AI rest-tech assistant designed to reduce decision fatigue and support cognitive relief inside organizations.

Today she’ll be discussing

• What "collateral damage" looks like at the leadership level, and why it happens
• What a 90-second downshift is, and when should leaders use it
• How leaders should think about AI support tools without turning work into surveillance or burnout theater

So if you’re ready to move from burnout to breakthrough, let’s have a chat with Shalece.
