Beyond Adoption

Tailored Ideas reflects my consultancy for professionals, educators and organisations seeking to do more than just adopt AI — it's for those ready to rethink how they work. Learning to really leverage tools like ChatGPT isn’t just about mastering a new interface; it’s about reshaping the way we think, create, and collaborate. It requires tailoring the very ideas that drive our behaviour at work.

Human Purpose

A growing body of research shows that tools like ChatGPT can make us more productive and efficient — and that’s a good thing. But for me, that’s not the real reason to get excited about AI at work. The deeper opportunity lies in how these tools can transform our experience of work itself.

When used well, large language models don’t just speed things up — they help us clear the decks. They take care of the mundane, repetitive tasks that drain energy and motivation, freeing us to focus on the work that stretches our creativity, deepens our skills, and connects us to a sense of purpose. In this way, AI isn’t just a tool for productivity. It’s a catalyst for joy, mastery, and meaning — a way to reshape the emotional texture of our working lives.

Real Learning

With a background in cognitive science, I bring a human-centred approach to AI training — one that helps people overcome the psychological barriers that can hold them back, like status quo bias, fear of failure, or perfectionism. My sessions are designed around how people actually learn: with examples, experimentation, and space for reflection.

Tipping the Scales of Tradition: The Status Quo Bias in AI Adoption.

The adoption of generative AI tools is a mixed bag with some forging ahead of others who continue with a business-as-usual approach. Here, I explore why BAU is compelling but limiting.
