What does transformation actually look like inside the limits of an organisation, and how do we bring the people along for it? Most AI conversations start with the model. Ours start with the data. Agents are only as good as what they can see, and right now the biggest challenge in enterprise AI is not the model choice or the prompt design. It is getting the right data into the right shape...
