Why Revenue Per Agent Should Be Your Next Key Metric for AI Success

Revenue per Agent (RPA) gives CFOs a familiar, headcount-style metric for measuring AI return. Instead of decoding credit-based pricing, you track what each digital employee produces and what it costs - just like you would with any high-performing hire.

Your Agency Workflow Was Built for Humans. Your Clients' Won't Be.

Your clients are rebuilding marketing with AI - if your agency is still running human-optimised workflows, you'll feel slow, expensive, and replaceable. The win isn't "AI helps us do the same work faster" - it's new workflows and new roles where digital employees execute and humans orchestrate and advise. Here's how to redesign your agency for the hybrid team era.

Why Most AI Readiness Surveys Get Useless Answers

Why Most AI Readiness Surveys Get Useless Answers

Most AI readiness surveys fail because they ask everyone the same questions in the same language. PULSE uses adaptive questioning - same audit, different conversation - so a CEO and a receptionist both get questions that make sense for their role. The result: better answers, comparable scores, and insights that reveal where leadership and frontline views diverge.

AI Isn't Failing. But a Lot of Companies Are.

New research from PwC, Workday, and Section shows 56% of CEOs see no AI benefit and 97% of workers use AI poorly - but the problem isn't AI itself. Companies with solid foundations are 3x more likely to see ROI. SMEs can avoid the "laggard trap" by treating AI as digital employees with clear workflows, not just another tool subscription.

The Rise of the AI Product Manager: From Idea to MVP in Minutes

You don't need AGI or a full engineering team to start building software. Modern AI tools let non-technical leaders create working MVPs in minutes. Tools like Lovable and Claude Code turn ideas into prototypes with natural language prompts. These aren't production-ready - but they're perfect for exploration, validation, and communication. A new role is emerging: the AI Product Manager, who prototypes with AI and collaborates with developers to harden the best ideas into production systems.

Your Org Is Full of Unbuilt Apps: Introducing the Latent Demand Audit

Most companies think they have an AI problem, but they actually have a visibility problem. The Latent Demand Audit is a structured way to surface the hidden backlog of micro-apps, digital employees, and agent workflows buried in spreadsheets, workarounds, and tribal knowledge across your organisation.

The AI Wizard Has Entered the Boardroom: Rethinking Digital Transformation

The most powerful leaders in AI transformation are not coders -they are orchestrators. This post explores the "AI wizard" metaphor: leaders who invoke AI capabilities through prompting and workflow design rather than programming, amplifying human teams with digital agents.

Why Everyone In AI Is Talking About Context Graphs

As AI agents start to handle more work, the main problem is no longer the model. The problem is context. Systems of record tell us what happened, but not why a decision was made or why a rule was bent. A "context graph" is a record of those decision traces across tools, people, and time.
