AI theatre is killing credibility

With Yemi Olagbaiye, Director, AI Strategy & Transformation at Tessiant.

The conversation

Why this matters

Yemi Olagbaiye joins Sarah to unpack the gap between what companies claim about AI and what they have actually built. Their conversation moves from operating models and organisational change to the role of human expertise in an agentic world.

Key ideas

  • Why boards may be asking the wrong question about AI strategy.
  • How performance without operating-model change erodes trust.
  • What sustained expertise looks like when markets move quickly.
The pressure to act is almost blinding the ability to execute.
