S3E11 - Roman Zomko - The Journey to Anthropic Certified

From Software Development to AI-Native Engineering: The Impressit Story What does it take for a software company to genuinely transform itself for the age of AI? In this episode of Futurise, I’m joined by Roman Zomko, CEO of Impressit, a software engineering company and accredited Anthropic partner. Roman and I first spoke around a year ago, so this is a fascinating opportunity to revisit the journey and see what has changed. We explore why Impressit chose to partner with Anthropic, what it took to build and accredit capability around Claude, and how tools such as Claude Code are changing the way software is designed, developed and delivered. We also look at what enterprise customers are actually asking for, whether adoption is different across the US, UK and Europe, and what this means for software companies themselves as AI moves from experimentation into everyday engineering. A conversation about Claude, enterprise adoption and, ultimately, what a software engineering company needs to become to stay relevant in an AI-native world.

S3E10 - Elan Greenberg - When IT meets OT

From IT to OT: How Agentic AI turns industrial data into action What happens when Agentic AI moves beyond the enterprise and onto the factory floor? In this episode of Futurise, I’m joined by Elan Greenberg, CEO of Augury, to explore the convergence of IT, OT and Agentic AI — and what it means for the future of manufacturing. We talk about the enormous amount of data already being generated by machines and industrial systems, why so much of that data remains underused, and how Agentic AI could turn it into real-time insight and action. We also explore what happens when AI agents can understand both the operational environment and the business context — moving from simply analysing data to helping people make better decisions and act on them. A conversation about the shift from data to intelligence, and intelligence to action — and why the factory could become one of the most important proving grounds for Agentic AI.

S3E9 - Błażej Zyglarski - Europe's Agentic AI Challenge

At a London panel I moderated with Simplito’s Kasia and Mirek, we explored the growing challenge of building AI that is sovereign, private and properly controlled. For this episode of Futurise, I continued that conversation with Błażej, CTO of Simplito, going deeper into one of the biggest questions facing enterprise AI: How much autonomy should we actually give an AI agent? As agents gain access to enterprise data, systems and processes, privacy and security become fundamentally different problems. It is no longer enough to control the model or protect the data — organisations need to control what the agent can access, what it can do and what happens when it acts. Błażej takes a deliberately challenging position: he doesn't believe fully autonomous agents have a place inside highly secure enterprise environments. That opens up a fascinating discussion about the AI harness, privacy-by-design, sovereign infrastructure, permissions, governance and risk management — and whether the future of enterprise agentic AI is actually about controlled agency rather than autonomy. For European organisations, the EU AI Act adds another layer of complexity, requiring careful consideration of risk, human oversight, monitoring and accountability for relevant high-risk systems. But there is an interesting twist: the very controls that can make European AI adoption more considered are attracting interest from US organisations too. Rather than seeing European privacy and governance requirements simply as constraints, some US organisations are looking to the European approach as a way of building AI that is safer, more controlled and more trustworthy. A conversation about privacy, sovereignty and where we draw the line between AI that can assist, AI that can act, and AI that should never be allowed to act alone.

S3E8 - Lori Salow Marshall - Quantum meets Agentic

Quantum Computing Meets Agentic AI: Opportunity, Hype and “Woo Woo Quantum Consciousness” What happens when quantum computing meets agentic AI? Could autonomous AI agents help accelerate quantum research and unlock the potential of quantum technology? And is quantum computing about to transform the future of artificial intelligence? In this episode of Futurise, Rob is joined by Lori, co-founder of The Quantum Links Group, based out of Seattle, USA, to explore the emerging relationship between quantum computing, agentic AI, autonomous agents and quantum consciousness. From serious scientific and commercial possibilities to the more speculative world of “woo woo quantum consciousness”, the conversation examines where genuine opportunity ends and hype begins. Quantum computing promises extraordinary processing power for highly complex problems, but practical, scalable applications remain limited. Agentic AI, meanwhile, is already moving from experimentation into real-world deployment — with autonomous AI agents capable of reasoning, planning, collaborating and completing complex tasks. The discussion explores an important asymmetry: agentic AI may be able to help quantum computing progress more quickly, make quantum systems easier to use and accelerate the path towards practical applications. But quantum computing is unlikely to add significant value to mainstream agentic AI in the near future. So, is the future quantum-powered AI — or will AI agents be the technology that helps quantum finally deliver on its promise? A thought-provoking conversation about quantum technology, agentic AI, autonomous systems, emerging technology, scientific innovation and the reality behind the hype.

S3E6 - Karen Silverman, CEO Cantellus Group - AI View from the Board

As organisations move beyond AI experimentation and towards enterprise-wide adoption, one question has become increasingly important: what is the role of the board? In this episode of Futurise – The AI for Business Podcast, Rob Price is joined by Karen Silverman, CEO of a leading West Coast board advisory firm, to explore how boards and executive teams should approach the rise of Agentic AI. Drawing on her experience advising organisations around the world, Karen shares practical insights into how directors can balance innovation with governance, manage risk without stifling progress, and make confident strategic decisions in a rapidly evolving AI landscape. The conversation explores the biggest decisions facing today's leadership teams, including whether to build or buy AI capabilities, how to navigate an increasingly crowded ecosystem of foundation models and AI platforms, the growing importance of sovereign AI and data residency, and how boards should think about measuring return on investment beyond traditional financial metrics. One of the standout discussions focuses on the often-overlooked gap between board strategy and operational execution. While boards define ambition, it is middle management that must redesign work, lead organisational change and deliver outcomes. Karen discusses how successful organisations bridge this divide and why leadership alignment is becoming a critical differentiator. Whether you're a board director, CEO, CIO, transformation leader or AI practitioner, this episode offers practical guidance on leading AI adoption with confidence, responsibility and long-term business value.

S3E4 - Martin Neale ,CEO ICS.AI, "Cashing It All In on AI"

Most organisations say they’re “doing AI.” Very few are actually seeing results. In this episode, I sit down with Martin Neale, founder and CEO of ICS.AI, to unpack why so many AI initiatives stall — and what it really takes to deliver impact at scale. Both recognised in the Computing 2026 AI Leadership Index, we explore the shift from experimentation to real-world impact — and what separates organisations that are delivering from those still stuck in pilot mode. Martin’s story is one of conviction. At 55, he cashed in his pension to build a company focused not on pilots, but on outcomes. Today, ICS.AI powers AI engagement across a significant proportion of UK councils, transforming how public services operate. We cover: Why most AI programmes get stuck in “pilot mode” What an AI operating model actually looks like in practice The shift from tools to more agentic AI systems in live services Lessons from transforming Derby City Council into one of the UK’s first AI-native councils The real barriers to adoption — and how to overcome them Why trust, governance, and design are critical to scaling AI responsibly This is a conversation about moving beyond hype — and building AI that actually works in the real world. https://www.linkedin.com/company/ics-ai-ltd https://www.ics.ai/customers/derby-city-council-case-study

S3E3 - Mark Boost - "Sovereign AI around the World"

As AI adoption accelerates, a new question is emerging at the heart of global technology strategy: who controls the intelligence? In this episode of Futurise, Rob Price is joined by Mark Boost, CEO of Civo, to explore the rise of sovereign AI — and why governments and organisations are rethinking where their data lives, how it’s processed, and who ultimately has access to it. With a focus on UK-operated data centres, and perspectives spanning the US, Germany, and India, they unpack what sovereignty really means in an AI-driven world. Is this about regulation, resilience, or competitive advantage? And can organisations balance global innovation with local control? They also dig into the practical realities: What does “sovereign AI” actually look like in practice? How are data centre strategies evolving to support it? Where do cloud providers fit — or clash — with sovereignty ambitions? What are the trade-offs between control, cost, and capability? And how should leaders think about risk, compliance, and long-term AI strategy? This isn’t just a policy discussion — it’s a strategic inflection point for AI adoption. For founders, investors, and enterprise leaders, the question is no longer whether to adopt AI — but how to do it on your own terms.

S3E1 - Over the Garden Fence: What Gardening Teaches Us About AI, Expertise and Knowledge Transfer – with Steve Bustin

In this episode of Futurise, Rob Price is joined by Steve Bustin, Chair of the Board of Trustees for the Hardy Plant Society, for a conversation that begins in the garden — and ends in the boardroom. “Over the garden fence” is how knowledge used to be shared: informally, experientially, and across generations. Gardening expertise — like much business expertise — is rarely written as technical documentation. It is contextual, tacit, and learned through experience. As organisations adopt AI and agentic systems, a similar challenge emerges: how do we translate deep domain knowledge into language that AI systems can understand — without losing meaning in the process? This episode explores: How expert knowledge is traditionally passed down between generations Why tacit expertise is difficult to encode into AI systems The language gap between business specialists and AI technologists What agentic AI might mean for capturing and applying domain expertise Why successful AI adoption depends as much on terminology as technology By deliberately using language that would resonate with gardeners rather than AI engineers, this conversation highlights a wider leadership lesson: AI systems only become valuable when they can engage meaningfully with real-world expertise. If you’re a founder, investor, or executive navigating AI adoption, this episode offers a fresh perspective on knowledge transfer, AI leadership, and the future of artificial intelligence in practice. Comments are open — where do you see gaps between business expertise and AI terminology in your organisation?
