## Popular Talks by Lee Fulmer
### Human augmented AI
Reframing the conversation on how AI can used be used to help improve efficacy by simplifying how people find and identify the important information and insights they need to do their job. By using AI tools to sift through the vast amounts of data to narrow down what might be useful, we can focus on the aspects that add value. Rather than focus on automating away jobs that only exist because of failings in our technology, we can retrain and refocus that effort to support more customers, drive more sales and bolster growth.

### Data democratisation
Data is at the heart of every process we develop, whether it is a human business process or an application flow everything needs the right inputs to create the best outputs. If we replace ‘data’ with ‘information’, we can quickly demystify the discussion and unlock the ‘ownership’ barriers frequently put in place by data governance and risk teams. Data is an intellectual asset and just like any other company asset you need to understand who created, for what purpose, where it is and how it can be used. By democratising data ownership you empower everyone in the company to know ‘what’ exists, and know what you have and where it is is the key to unlocking digital acceleration.

### How to build a culture of business innovation
If you want to transform your business you need to start by looking at your corporate culture. We’ve all seen various consulting statistics claiming that roughly 70% of all transformation programs fail, and while the statistic is true most consultancies overlook the real reason for those failures: corporate culture. No one wants things ‘done to them’, top-down doesn’t work and new technology for the sake of it creates friction in people’s jobs. The key to a successful transformation is getting everyone energised about the opportunity and creating a culture of innovation and experimentation where people can transform their own business processes supported by technology rather than driven by it. By all means set the vision from the top, but you need to start the transformation from the bottom’s up not from a management layer that isn’t the focus of the transformation.
