Maybe the machines are going to take over. But until then they’re making lives easier and saving money for the public sector A couple of great examples today at #AWS summit: Swindon council are using AI to translate documents they create for their culturally diverse community with 99.96% cost saving  Bedfordshire police using it to redact docs for court. The equivalent saving of 6 officers back on the beat We see examples every day of how thinly stretched gov. departments are. I can’t help but think there are many opportunities available right now to do more to leverage AI services to lighten the load

I've been humbled many times on my journey in creating CS-X.io, but marketing is one of the things I've found most difficult. I truly never appreciated how much of a skill it is and how difficult it is to master. Shout out to all your marketing folks who make it look easy, when it really isn't! P.S - I'd love some feedback on the stuff I'm posting, I'm doing this entire thing on my own and haven't found a good way of knowing if I'm pointing in the right direction! #customersuccess #saas #marketing #csp

I'm delighted to share Scott Logic's latest Environmental Impact Report, maintaining our commitment to share (in quite some detail!) our carbon footprint, what we're currently doing to reduce our impact, and our roadmap to net zero. Short version: we're doing well (34% down from 2021 baseline), but that's attributable to both reduction efforts and constrained business growth. I'm also excited to have included a full breakdown of our IT-related emissions, using the Technology Carbon Standard. It feels right for a tech-based business like our to pay extra attention to this area. https://lnkd.in/enjVn42A Plan A Ramona Damian Sophia Kesteven Tech Zero

Thank you Dr Patrick Dixon MBE for such an inspirational read ‘How AI Will Change Your Life’. During my 10 hour flight yesterday, I found your book highly thought-provoking as it explored potential opportunities and risks along with practical guidance on how we, as individuals and as companies can adapt to thrive in a super-smart world. My key takeaways: Reality check.  #AI in business is mainly about saving time and cost, which means fewer people at work. However, while AI-driven efficiencies may lead to job losses, they’ll also create millions of new opportunities. There will be premium value for human attention in an AI world. The more virtual our lives - the greater value for physical experience and authenticity! Early adoption is vital- but take great care. Small things create magic at low cost.  Focus on the small things before you get carried away by the excitement of AI.  And when you do introduce AI, focus on the greatest difference to your customers and your teams, in the simplest ways. This book resonated with me on both personal and business levels—emphasizing the importance of creating a better world through continuous learning and early AI adoption. It also highlighted some key insights into industries, as mentioned by Dr. Patrick Dixon, that we at #Zendesk serve today, reinforcing our mission to build exceptional service for all.

Blake Clough Consulting are keeping track of the ongoing connection reforms and are actively contributing to the consultations. We have released a consolidated view on the National Energy System Operator Clean Power 2030 report and are helping our clients navigate through the changes this will bring next year. The strategic 'buckets' of projects are yet to be established whereby a technology type is allocated depending on the area of the country and according to local needs. The other area that we are awaiting further information on is the 'Strategic Pathways' that developers could fall under meaning they could take advantage of Gate 2 offer queue acceleration. Using the published information so far, we have been able to help our clients apply attrition rate sensitivities to the connections queue in order to gauge what the potential impact may be on their connection dates through queue acceleration. #TMO4+ #CleanPower2030 #QueueReform
