Welcome to the first episode of our brand new podcast series: The AI Value Track.

In Episode 1, host Simon Hedaux (Co-Founder at ReThink ReThink Productivity) is joined by our very own, Ian Hogg (CEO at ShopWorks) and Ed Hogg (CEO at SolvedBy.AI) for a no-nonsense conversation about:

• Clear definition of AI and human‑in‑the‑loop
• Where AI adds value across knowledge work
• Culture over tech as the main blocker
• Data readiness and training data basics
• Governance to reduce shadow AI risks
• Leaders modelling tools and setting objectives
• Selecting first three use cases aligned to KPIs
• Measuring adherence to AI recommendations
• Balancing efficiency vs productivity for trust and ROI
• Practical rollout: owners, feedback loops, training

This isn’t about hype — it’s about making AI useful and accessible. If you’re just getting started or thinking “we should probably be doing something with AI”, this one’s for you.
