#015: Future Bytes with special guest Ian Kingstone

Any transformation takes courage, whatever the technology. “It’s about reimagining possibilities, using data and imagination to drive change, and showing every stakeholder what’s in it for them,” says Ian Kingstone, Business Transformation Advisor at Columbus.


“When people align early on what ‘good’ looks like and can see their role in achieving it, they start pulling the change rather than having it pushed onto them,” he says.

In transformations involving AI, management often chases cost efficiencies. Kingstone says those will come — but if you really want a competitive edge, you need to be bold and growth-oriented.


“The organisations that win won’t just copy; they’ll imagine new possibilities. That requires aligned mindsets and a clear vision. AI can be abstract and hard to visualise, so you need experimentation, testing, and learning. Be brave!”
