ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Dave Kenyon sits down with Stacey Kavanagh, Managing Director and Co-Founder of KJM Consulting, to unpack why organisations with great technology still struggle with governance, compliance, and accountability gaps. They dig into role drift, shadow AI in payroll, and where the line sits between what AI should handle and what stays firmly in human hands.
