We’re all in the same storm of disruption, change, and opportunity and how we respond will define what comes next.

Tuesday’s Revved HumAIne event at Les Mills left me buzzing, but also clear: talking isn’t enough. It’s what we do this week, this month, that matters.

A few moments that stuck with me:

• “This is a cultural and leadership challenge, not a technology challenge.” — Mark

• “It’s not one sprint and done, it’s a habit.” — Maya

• “Double down on human skills.” — Faye

• “Who are going to be the losers of the decisions made in this room?” — Julia

Quick pulse-check questions for you (pick one and reply):

1. What’s one concrete action you’ll take this week to lift your own or your team’s AI capability?

2. Where can we give some of the productivity gains back, to people or planet?

3. How are you choosing the right model for the job? Any simple rules of thumb?

4. What guardrails (security, privacy, ethics) are you putting in place that others here could reuse?

5. Who’s your accountability buddy and what are you committing to by month-end?

If it helps, here’s my commitment: To educate myself about the inequity NZ is already facing, for example 1 in 5 have no digital access. Hold me to it.

Momentum is engineered — together.

I’m looking forward to seeing some of you at Revved Humaine tomorrow morning at Les Mills International.

We’ll be diving into the evolution of AI in our workplaces, how we, as leaders, navigate this transition, lift New Zealand’s productivity, and still keep a truly humane approach at the centre of it all.

One of the questions we will be exploring is "How can we, as leaders work together to drive progress in NZ and beyond. Leveraging AI and technology to increase productivity and impact."

I'd love to hear your thoughts? We will be filming tomorrows discussion and posting it inside here for those who won't be there.
