THE ENTERPRISE AGENDA / THE JOURNAL
The Writing
The Enterprise Agenda explores the decisions, assumptions and organisational choices that shape how businesses perform. Where strategy meets execution, technology meets judgement, and organisational decisions create value — or quietly destroy it.
The Journal brings together articles that question familiar thinking, examine the connections between different parts of the enterprise and explore what happens when good intentions meet organisational reality. Usually seriously, occasionally not.

AI & Judgement
Who Gave AI the Authority?
13 min read
AI can analyse, recommend, decide and act. Yet how many organisations have consciously decided how much authority to give it? Delegation can become dependence long before the Board recognises what has changed.
