The difference between experimentation and delivery
It has never been easier to experiment. With low-code tools, Copilot, and new AI agents, almost anyone can build a working prototype in an afternoon. That is a real step forward. But it also creates a new challenge. When building is this quick, it is easy to think the hard work is done as soon […]
The AI opportunity most teams are missing: Why enablement matters as much as building
Where the conversation has got to At our recent AI in Practice event, one thing stood out to me more than anything else. The conversation has moved on. A year ago, many discussions about AI revolved around definitions, possibilities and predictions. What is agentic AI? Which tools are worth paying attention to? Is this hype, […]
Why most AI projects stall between pilot and adoption
The Pilot Trap Almost everyone now has an AI pilot. Far fewer have AI in production. That gap, between a promising proof of concept and something people actually use every day, is where most organisations are quietly stuck. The numbers bear this out. In its 2025 State of AI in Business study, MIT’s Media […]
AI in Practice: The lessons organisations can’t afford to ignore
Most organisations are well past experimenting with AI. Teams have tried the tools. Many are already using copilots, automation, and AI-powered workflows. The real question now is not whether AI can add value. It is whether organisations are set up to realise that value. This was the focus of our recent AI in […]
How does Marra design and assure secure AI Agents?
The Trust Challenge in AI-Driven Solutions Many organisations are adopting AI agents to streamline workloads and improve efficiency. However, these agents introduce unique security challenges. To function effectively, agents require access to data and the ability to perform actions, like a human user. At the same time, their behaviour is not always fully predictable, and […]
What we learned building an AI exam marking assistant with The Mercian Trust
High-stakes decisions demand trust, transparency and clear accountability. Whether in education, healthcare, professional services or the public sector, organisations are increasingly asking the same question: how can AI support complex, judgement-led work without undermining professional confidence? The Mercian Trust Exam marking brings this challenge into sharp focus. It requires focus, consistency and professional judgement, often under tight deadlines. Through a […]
