You know what question I get all the time on those AI panels?
“How do organisations get ready for AI?”

Good question, right?
My answer is simple, Give yourself a PAT.

G stands for Governance. This is the backbone — managing access, protecting sensitive data, and setting clear business rules so things don’t spiral into chaos.

P stands for People.
Because let’s be honest, tech doesn’t change the world, people do.
You need teams who are data-literate, curious, not afraid to break things, learn fast, and deliver faster.
And the company? It has to create that culture, one that embraces change and doesn’t punish mistakes.

A stands for Accessibility.
Your data can’t be hiding in silos or sitting in messy spreadsheets.
It needs to be connected, clean, and ready to use, like a well-stocked kitchen before you start cooking.

T stands for Technology.
You need the right tools to tie everything together, not just shiny toys, but tech that actually helps people do their jobs better.

So yeah, we’re back to the foundations again.
It took years, years! for organisations to realise that data modernisation isn’t optional.
It’s the concrete slab your AI dreams are built on.

We might be living in the AGI era, but let’s be real, you can’t just jump straight into building fancy models or AI agents.
Because data is the fuel.
And without a solid foundation… your AI won’t go anywhere.

So, give yourself a PAT,
roll up your sleeves,
get the basics right,
and that’s when the magic really starts. 

Disclaimer: that’s real me and my own voice in the video. But guess what? I didn’t record a single second of it.
The entire thing was generated by AI, using a combo of ChatGPT, HeyGen, and ElevenLabs. Instead of taking hours of work, it only took me 10 mins? Wahla! I love AI! 😊
