Rewire or Retire: Why AI is a Leadership Issue, Not a Technology Problem | Marco Ryan

You cannot just be a leader that takes a can of digital paint and paints over the analogue cracks of your business. It will not survive the disruption that's coming. In this episode of Arkaro Insights, Marco Ryan—former Chief Digital Officer at BP and co-author of Rewire or Retire: AI for Leaders—makes the case that AI isn't a technology problem. It's a leadership issue. Marco explains why senior executives are "nearsighted" when it comes to AI, why wisdom and judgment don't always sit at the top of the table, and how to find the AI whisperers already hidden in your organisation. He shares practical advice on using AI as a "strategy buddy" and why asking "what if?" matters more than technical expertise. The choice facing every leader is clear: rewire your approach or retire gracefully to let others lead.
