Navigating uncertainty with people-first digital transformation, logic-first data modeling, and governance-first AI
Navigating uncertainty
Head and Heart CIC (H&H) is my one-person social enterprise with a statutorily regulated mission to help individuals, charities, community groups, Community Interest Companies and small private enterprises across the UK by offering free and low‑cost digital transformation support.
Transformation projects always bring uncertainty. Plans are tools for delivering the things your organisation wants, but transformation changes the way your organisation works, and with that the things your organisation wants. Transformation plans are more about provisioning for whatever you decided to do in the future than about deciding what steps to take.
People-first digital transformation
I specialise in helping organisations make the most of the digital tools available to them. I see information systems as activities that teams of people participate in to complete communication, decision making and record keeping tasks. Digital transformation disrupts those teams, and the core of any digital transformation project to help the teams adjust and reform.
Logic-first data modeling
An organisation’s data is its memory, and more accurately and clearly your data models the real world the more useful it will be as a resource it will be however the way your organisations works changes. More profoundly, striving for accuracy and clarity in your data establishes a single shared goal that coordinates they work of your teams right across your orgainisation.
Governance-first AI
The latest wave of transformative technical change is being created by the introduction of generative AI into the workplace. Allowing any non-human intelligence to contribute to human activity demands a carefully controlled environment. This has always been true of animals used in physical workplaces, and now our virtual workspaces need to be secured and controlled so that AI agents can operate in them safely.
If you’ve got any questions, comments, or Feedback, then I’d love to hear from you.
