I often get asked this by business leaders looking to embark on Digital Transformation. I hear everything from "this should be easy" to "this feels overwhelming." The truth, in my experience, sits somewhere in between.

Digital and AI transformation conversations for any organisation should now be part of business as usual. If you are not thinking about it, you are falling, if not already behind!

Speed, innovation, and momentum. Words that were amplified in the digital age and are now used continually in the age of AI. What we tend to talk far less about is trade-offs.

There is a tension I see often in leadership conversations, especially in environments shaped by digital acceleration and AI adoption. Expectations grow quickly. Capacity does not.

“If you can’t do it faster, I’ll get someone who will.” I’ve heard versions of this more than once over the past 10–15 years. Not always said this bluntly. Often implied. Sometimes wrapped in urgency, sometimes framed as innovation, sometimes positioned as necessity.

The start of the year demands focused attention. A few years ago, as the year kicked off, I made a series of decisions after careful consideration that all felt right at the time. I found myself saying “yes” to extra work, to reasonable requests, to opportunities that made sense in isolation. That experience changed how I approach the start of a year. I now pay closer attention to the pressure points that don’t appear obvious early on.

The Obvious Question: “How do I set my team up for success this year?” Is it really? In my experience, I have found that starting to create momentum at the end of the year is important.

Have you heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words”? It’s fascinated me, in hindsight, how much my approach to planning, New Year’s resolutions, and goal-setting has changed over time.

I am sure you have been told, "Communication is Key!" At the start of a new year, there’s pressure to communicate certainty, confidence, and momentum.

So 2026 is here and I sure you are asking "How do I start strong?" I had to take a moment as the calendar flipped. For most of us, this should be a time of reflection.

Leadership That Builds Momentum: What does this mean? This is a loaded question! We do not build momentum alone. We can lead, inspire and encourage, but momentum is built in conjunction with your team and the people around you!

There is a saying, "Great digital leaders don't rush to adopt the latest tech trend, they pause to ask why?

With the ongoing AI hype, I have been thinking about what we, as business owners or leaders, need to be thinking about for our businesses as we ride the AI wave. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved from a boardroom buzzword to a business reality. It can feel like AI is everywhere, but what is AI? And how much of it do you need to know to run or grow your business? Do you want to understand the basics of AI, what it is, how it works, and, most importantly, how it can help
