Friday, 20 March, 2026

Most businesses underestimate how quickly AI is transforming every industry, and those who don’t adapt risk falling behind. In this episode, Tim Lewis, CTO of innovative AI consultancy Zygens, shares how organizations can harness agentic AI to unlock rapid, low-risk value that scales. Discover how small, agile teams can lead the AI revolution by focusing on strategic initiatives like governance, safety, and domain expertise, rather than just tech tinkering. Tim breaks down real-world examples from his career, from pioneering streaming platforms to rebranding logistics giants, illustrating how good engineering, organizational agility, and a human-centered approach are key to thriving in this fast-changing landscape. We also explore the new role of consultants in the AI era: moving away from resource-heavy solutions toward expert guidance that accelerates transformation while managing risks. If you’re a leader, a tech enthusiast, or a forward-thinking professional eager to stay ahead of the AI curve, this episode is your guide. With insights rooted in decades of experience across tech, media, and logistics, and a passionate belief that AI should be accessible to all, Tim reveals how organizations can confidently navigate this frontier. Perfect for decision-makers, innovators, and anyone ready to turn AI uncertainty into opportunity.
