Burnham's silence on AI? Don't panic
It cuts across his policy speech.
Happy Tuesday, I've graduated from London cafe-hopping to an actual desk with Wifi. Hallelujah.
How do you get real value from AI?
The PSC has the answer. They’ve developed a framework that aligns AI tools with your organisation’s goals, rather than just individual enthusiasm. It puts your budget and talent where they’ll have the most impact and tracks exactly what is and isn’t working.
How do they know it works?
They’ve used the framework with some of the world’s leading public sector groups who have seen staff confidence in AI and productivity surge.
