This week Bren is joined by guest Jamie Fry as Lenno is enjoying some well-earned time off. Jamie runs the Hawkfry Group, a consortium of senior cloud and data specialists, as the conversation dives into the real returns made on using AI.

Jamie puts a real number on it and explains where his teams lean on AI the most. But the real question is where does the human still have the biggest impact?

The discussion looks at the conundrum faced by AI speeding up the technical work but the human work being a bottleneck. And what should companies do to get started with AI?

It's a cracker as we learn the revenue uplift this year for the Hawkfry group from AI and why Jamie has taken more holidays now than the previous 3 years.
