Many business leaders are embracing AI as a transformative tool to enhance team engagement and performance—and with thoughtful implementation, it truly can be.
We've seen this kind of technological optimism before. When personal computers entered the workplace, they unlocked new levels of productivity and creativity. The internet, envisioned by Sir Tim Berners-Lee as a tool to “serve humanity,” has connected the world, democratised information, and sparked countless innovations.
Now, AI stands as the next great leap forward. With ethical guidance and informed leadership, it has the potential to become one of the most powerful tools we've ever created, capable of amplifying human potential rather than distracting from it.
To ensure AI fulfils this promise, it’s essential that people with integrity, insight, and vision help shape its direction. This is a pivotal moment, and we could build a future that honours both technological advancement and human wisdom.
For the past three years, I’ve been passionate about highlighting how AI can support us taking on repetitive tasks, analysing vast datasets, uncovering patterns, and conducting deep research. These capabilities free us to focus on what we do best.
My personal mission is to ensure that we continue to develop and celebrate our uniquely human strengths: discernment, ethical reasoning, creativity, innovation, and ingenuity. These are qualities that machines can support but never replace.
If we embrace AI as a partner rather than a replacement, we can elevate our work to new heights. Let’s lead with dignity, expertise, and purpose using AI to enhance our intelligence, not diminish it. Together, we can shape a future where human and artificial intelligence grow side by side, each making the other better. Our protégé – AI - Is a fast learner. Let’s rise to meet it.
Mario has introduced his first of a series of AI inspired programs, Managing Projects using AI scheduled for Wednesday 26 November 2025.
Mario’s continued selection of AI inspired programs will be delivered virtually as follows:
