Most AI projects fail to scale because they lack structure. An artifact‑centered approach changes that; grounding AI prompts in internationally recognized standards so outputs are compliant, auditable, and repeatable. In my latest article, I share the AI Standards Prompt Map with examples for: 🔹 HR – ISO 30414 & 30405 🔹 IT – ISO/IEC 42001 & 27001 🔹 Procurement – ISO 20400 & 10845 🔹 Finance – IFRS & ISO 37301 🔹 Operations – ISO 9001 & 31000 When every prompt is tied to a standard, you get: ✅ Traceable decisions ✅ Faster compliance ✅ Scalable, ethical innovation 📄 Read the full (short) article linked below and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/driving-operational-excellence-generative-ai-approach-matthew-kilbane-wsqke

The 5 Leadership Principles for AI Adoption • Align – Communicate why AI matters, set measurable goals, and role-model usage. • Activate – Provide training, create AI champions, and encourage experimentation. • Amplify – Share success stories, build knowledge hubs, and foster communities. • Accelerate – Ensure fast access to tools/data, streamline approvals, and reward success. • Govern – Create practical AI guidelines, run reviews, and balance speed with responsibility. Thriving in the AI era means treating AI not just as a tool, but as a new way of working. Companies that align, activate, amplify, accelerate, and govern will move beyond experimentation into real business impact—building resilience, speed, and long-term advantage

Hi everyone as you know this week I was one of the featured keynotes at the MDRT global conference in Macau, China! What an amazing event! I learned as much as I shared (like how ChatGPT isn’t accessible, so I used Deepseek and Manus instead!) My keynote was focused on practical tips for Financial Service providers to level up their business safely and responsibly with AI. Here are a few use cases that resonated the most: 1. AI Voice Agent for every business - imagine have it a lead generating business development agent answering every call, answering questions and even suggesting sales calls to the right prospects. This can allow companies to shift the receptionist work to high value work for the business. 2. Speed to Lead - Now take that a step further, for every person that comments on a post, sends a message on the website, or DMs on WhatsApp you can give them immediate attention with a speed to lead agent. this allows you to take advantage of an 80% conversion increase that you get when you reach out to a lead within 30 seconds of them showing interest! 3. Referrals and Reviews are LIFE - Every time you deliver with excellence it’s important to capture those reviews and it is the BEST time to ask for a referral. With a referral al and review agent you can now automate and personalize the process of growing your business through these tasks. This was just a taste of the amazing fun I had with the audience! I hope you enjoyed the recap and if you have other insurance use cases you have tested and seen success, we would love to hear about it in the comments below!
