Driving a Ferrari in Bangalore: Why AI Won’t Save Your Organisation (Yet)

Driving a Ferrari in Bangalore: Why AI Won’t Save Your Organisation (Yet)

What happens when you bolt cutting-edge AI onto creaky old systems? Chaos, mostly.
In this episode, Stephen is joined by transformation expert Lauren to explore the real roadblocks to AI adoption inside large organisations. Spoiler: it's not the tech — it’s the traffic.

They dig into:

  • Why AI feels like a Ferrari... stuck in Bangalore gridlock

  • The myths that middle management tells itself

  • How crises (not strategy) usually drive real change

  • What Work Quakes and Life Quakes really shake up — your identity

  • What it takes to ride the messy middle without losing your mind

This one’s equal parts therapy session and strategy call — for anyone trying to lead (or survive) in an organisation that’s “doing AI.”
