AI can make it remarkably easy to get more done. But getting more done isn’t necessarily the same as building greater capability.

In a recent episode of the Cambridge Executive Business Insights: Rethinking AI podcast, Viren Lall, Managing Director of ChangeSchool, joined Professor Jaideep Prabhu to explore what a more disciplined approach to AI could look like.

Viren describes the risk of treating AI like a “candy machine”: put in a prompt, get an instant result, move on. It might save time in the moment, but does it help people and organisations think better, learn more or create lasting value?

The accompanying article explores how leaders can move beyond these quick wins and use AI for deeper, more strategic work, challenging its outputs, applying human judgement and, crucially, capturing what works so that knowledge and capability build over time.

It’s a useful perspective on frugal AI that shifts the conversation away from simply doing more with the technology, towards using it more deliberately.

In our latest blog post, we reflect on a recent conversation with Paul Henninger, UK Head of Technology and Data and Global AI Leader at KPMG, exploring the real tensions organisations face when trying to scale AI beyond the pilot stage.

The friction is often hidden. In systems built for repetition and risk control, genuine transformation demands more than smarter algorithms. It requires a deliberate rethink of roles, processes and how we measure progress.

A timely read for anyone navigating the gap between AI's promise and its reality.

Even the most experienced leaders need time to step back and reflect.

Over three weeks in Cambridge, participants explore three interconnected themes:

📍 Making sense of turbulent times
📍 Building organisational and personal capabilities
📍 Leading into the future

Through discussion and debate with Cambridge faculty, guest speakers and a carefully selected cohort of senior peers, participants examine their own leadership approach while exploring how organisations can respond to economic, technological and strategic change.

💡 What does effective revenue leadership look like when data, technology and customer expectations are all changing at pace?

For Professor Dominique Lauga, Professor of Marketing and Programme Director of the Chief Revenue Officer Programme, the evolving CRO role requires leaders to think beyond individual functions and take a more integrated view of growth.
