From the Field
Notes and perspectives
Short reflections, commentary and related projects. We will add more detailed evidence-based field reports as they are developed.
From hype to habit after Microsoft AI Tour Sydney
The useful question after a major AI event is not whether the tools are impressive. It is whether teams can turn the energy into repeatable habits, better prompts, clearer judgement, and safer everyday use.
What AI training changes in day-to-day work
Training is one part of workplace AI adoption. A useful evaluation looks beyond access to tools and considers whether people can apply AI appropriately, review its outputs and use it effectively in their work.

AI adoption is also a security and governance conversation. NanoSec.Asia #ParallelPulse 2025 is a useful marker for how organisations are thinking about cyber risk, resilience, and responsible AI deployment.
dontfail.ai as a field project
dontfail.ai is a related field project for plain-English conversations about where AI use goes wrong, where it creates value, and how teams can keep the discussion grounded in real work rather than hype.
