AI Value Track Season 2 – Episode 1

Published: October 20, 2025

We strip away the jargon and show how to use AI as an assistant that lifts productivity, trust, and measurable outcomes. From data readiness to culture, governance to first use cases, we focus on steps that turn hype into results.

Hosted by Simon Hedaux (Co-Founder at ReThink Productivity) is joined by Ian Hogg (CEO at ShopWorks) and our very own Ed Hogg (CEO at SolvedBy.Ai) for a no-nonsense conversation about:

  • Clear definition of AI and human‑in‑the‑loop
  • Where AI adds value across knowledge work
  • Culture over tech as the main blocker
  • Data readiness and training data basics
  • Governance to reduce shadow AI risks
  • Leaders modelling tools and setting objectives
  • Selecting first three use cases aligned to KPIs
  • Measuring adherence to AI recommendations
  • Balancing efficiency vs productivity for trust and ROI
  • Practical rollout: owners, feedback loops, training

This isn’t about hype, it’s about making AI useful and accessible. If you’re just getting started or thinking “we should probably be doing something with AI”, this one’s for you.
