3. What’s Really Stopping Your Business from Using AI — And How to Fix It. Join James Hutt from Paradigm Junction
Think AI success is all about hiring data scientists or buying the latest tools? Think again. In this episode, James Hutt, founder of Paradigm Junction, shares real stories from the front lines of AI transformation and reveals why incentives, leadership, and culture matter more than the tech itself.
You’ll learn how forward-thinking businesses are outpacing the competition by aligning internal incentives, creating space for experimentation, and empowering teams at all levels, not just technology teams. Discover what works (and what fails) when trying to introduce AI into established organisations, and how to lead AI change even if you're not technical.
Whether you're a CEO, HR lead, or innovation strategist, this episode will help you:
- Rethink your AI approach from "tools" to "transformation",
- Spot hidden cultural blockers and counter-incentives,
- Avoid the trap of AI-as-a-silo and build alignment across teams,
- Create a lasting competitive edge through curiosity and experimentation,
If you're serious about growing your business with AI, not just talking about it, this episode is your playbook.
