AI can deliver impressive results, but impressive doesn’t always mean accurate.

When one system appeared almost too successful, it took a human to stop and ask: “Hang on, is something not quite right here?”

That instinct prevented a product from reaching farmers while misidentifying plants in the field, potentially causing serious damage to their crops.

AI is a powerful tool, but people still need to be in the loop to question the results, apply real-world judgement and make sure everything is safe, sensible and right.

AI isn’t about replacing your team. It’s about freeing them up to do more of the work they’re actually great at. 🙌

Why have a skilled team member click the same button 20, 50 or 100 times when automation could take care of it?

Alexis Charkiw explains how she’s using AI and automation to remove repetitive tasks, while giving her team more time to use their skills where they add the most value.

Work smarter. Empower your team. Let AI handle the repetitive stuff. 🤖

If you’re not learning how to leverage AI, your competitors will be 👀

But embracing AI doesn’t mean ignoring the concerns that come with it.

Alexis Charkiw shares how she introduced AI into her business while giving clients the choice over how their data is used.

Some said absolutely yes. Others said absolutely not.

The important part? Educating your clients, getting their consent and making sure your team knows exactly where they stand.

If you are scaling your business are you doing it from a position of being optimised?

For Alexis Charkiw, AI has opened up a completely different way of thinking about growth.

More capacity. Smarter ways of working. More time away from the day-to-day. And the ability to grow the team when it’s actually needed.

🚨 95% of enterprise AI projects fail.

Not because AI doesn't work...

Because they don't deliver a return on investment.

Meanwhile, SMEs are seeing an average 3.7x return by using AI to solve real business problems.

The biggest win? ⏰ Time.

Not just more time to work...

More time for your family.

More time to switch off.

More time to enjoy life outside your business.

The best AI strategies don't start with the latest tools - they start with the biggest pain points.

AI isn't coming...

It's already here.

Now it's about finding the right use cases, creating real business value and keeping up with a technology that's changing faster than ever.

🎙️ In this clip from Speaking Your Language, Leigh Hussein shares why AI has become the biggest topic in the room.

We're delighted to share that our founders, Marco Oliver and Josh Evans, have been shortlisted for the Tech Entrepreneur of the Year award at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards.

When we spoke to them, they said they were incredibly proud to be shortlisted, but that it reflects the collective effort of the entire Configur team. Building innovative Data and AI solutions, helping clients unlock value from their data, and growing the business has been a true team endeavour.

They also wanted to recognise the amazing clients, partners and supportive board members who challenge, trust and work alongside us every day. We're fortunate to collaborate with such talented people and organisations, and this recognition is as much a reflection of that community as it is of any individual achievement.

Congratulations to Marco and Josh on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you to everyone who has been part of Configur’s journey so far.

For many businesses, the first step into AI is implementing a large language model or tool like ChatGPT or Copilot.

But they're forgetting one critical step: training their people.

Without clear guidance, teams start uploading customer data, spreadsheets, contracts and internal documents into public LLMs without thinking about:

-GDPR compliance
-Intellectual Property risks
-Data security
-Where that information actually ends up

AI isn't just a technology project; it's a people and governance project.

If you're rolling out AI without policies and education, you might be creating more risk than value.

🎙️ We dive into this and why AI training should come before AI adoption in the latest podcast episode.
