The Real Barrier to AI Success Isn’t Technology – It’s Clarity and Capability

Kiran Kachela
3rd August, 2026
There is a growing paradox at the heart of modern business transformation: while artificial intelligence tools have never been more accessible, the path to generating actual business value from them has rarely felt more elusive. Many organisations approach AI with high enthusiasm, treating the acquisition of new tools or a single training session as the […]

The ONS Data Muddle: Why Data Governance Needs Lean Disciplines

Kiran Kachela
23rd June, 2026
When the Office for National Statistics (ONS) recently admitted to accidentally allocating interviewers to the wrong survey – losing roughly 1,200 telephone interviews in the process – the ripple effect was instant.

To compensate, the ONS will have […]

The Changing of the Guard: The Psychology of Leadership Transitions

Kiran Kachela
13th May, 2026
The UK political landscape has consumed headlines this week. Keir Starmer, after a period of intense internal pressure and a string of challenging election results, could be voted out by his own party members.
