In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, businesses are continually seeking ways to harness its power to drive innovation and efficiency. We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Brian Hanly, co-founder and CEO of Brightbeam, for our ChattingGPT Podcast. Brian shared invaluable insights into how AI is transforming enterprise operations and the innovative solutions Brightbeam is bringing to the table.
Brian's entrepreneurial journey began in 2000 with a company focused on helping enterprises adapt extreme programming – an early agile methodology. Fast forward to today, and Brian's latest venture, Brightbeam, is on a mission to be "the most helpful company for enterprises to gain advantage through AI."
Fun Fact: Extreme programming was cutting-edge in 2000. Now, it's as vintage as flip phones and dial-up internet!

Brian introduced the concept of "workflow cognification" – using AI to enhance existing workflows without necessarily changing the underlying processes. This approach has led to:
As we look to the future, it's clear that AI will continue to play an increasingly important role in enterprise operations. Brian emphasised that in all the organisations Brightbeam has worked with, AI implementation hasn't led to job losses. Instead, it's enabling employees to focus on more complex, value-added tasks.
Food for Thought: How can your organisation "change everything, but change nothing" with AI?
The possibilities of AI in enterprise are vast and exciting. From enhancing customer experiences to revolutionising internal processes, AI is proving to be a game-changer for businesses willing to embrace it.
As Brian Hanley and Brightbeam demonstrate, the key to successful AI implementation lies in understanding the technology's capabilities and applying them strategically to solve real business problems.
