Great to have Teneo’s Capital Projects & Infrastructure team represented at ADIS this week. The scale of Abu Dhabi’s project pipeline, the clarity of its ambition and the resilience underpinning its infrastructure agenda were all strongly evident. It was encouraging to hear from key public and private sector leaders shaping the next phase of development across the Emirate. Valuable discussions with Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre | مركز أبوظبي للمشاريع والبنية التحتية , Abu Dhabi Investment Office مكتب أبوظبي للاستثمار , ALDAR , Modon , Mubadala , Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) , Etihad Rail and other major government and infrastructure developers on delivery, investment and long-term growth. #ADIS #AbuDhabi #UAE #Infrastructure #CapitalProjects #ProjectDelivery #EconomicDevelopment #RealEstate #PublicPrivatePartnerships #Investment #Resilience #Teneo Mohamad Maarouf, MCIArb, MEng Mohamed ElShazly

Fantastic piece from our management consulting team that undersores what most of us are experiencing with AI in the workplace right now. It's not replacing jobs, its's changing them, and organizations are pausing hiring and backfilling while they figure out the longer-term impact. Work flows, operating models, and processes are changing, and how teams are structured to support those changes is still being figured out. Teneo can help you through the transition.

Teneo's new research reveals tension in how tech professionals, the public and politicians view advances in AI. We surveyed the general public, 502 tech professionals and 102 MPs. It is clear that tech companies are evolving AI products faster than they can communicate the benefits of how best to use them. Anyone who is interested in industry, public and political opinion on one of the most important developments in modern life should read our fascinating report below. Key takeaways from me include: *The public and politicians are more concerned about safety, misuse, fraud and lack of control than job displacement. *Tech professionals struggle to understand what most concerns and persuades both the public and politicians. Fewer than 2% of technology professionals were aligned with public or political sentiment. *Only 45% of the public support increasing use of AI in the UK Download insights and the full report below:

The tech sector doesn't know the best arguments to support the deployment of its new toys. If you want to buy people into an AI revolution, stop talking about abstract metrics like productivity and talk more about the impact on cancer treatment in the NHS. That's what our new Teneo Persuasion with Precision report has found. #data #polling #insight

Great to a part of the Equilar Nasdaq Board Leadership Forum in NYC today, and to run into so many familiar faces. The conversation has clearly shifted from isolated AI use cases to enterprise-wide transformation. The “agentic enterprise” is less about technology itself and more about rethinking how value is created across the operating model. From a talent lens, this means fundamentally reshaping how work gets done - new structures, evolving skill sets, and capabilities that cut across functions. The CHRO role is becoming increasingly intertwined with technology, co-owning how human and machine capabilities are designed and scaled to drive performance. Leaders from Salesforce , Hewlett Packard Enterprise , CIBC , The J.M. Smucker Co. , Mastercard , Moderna , Moelis & Company , Morgan Stanley , Krispy Kreme , Deutsche Bank , PAR Technology brought these ideas to life with real-time examples. # Teneo PeopleAdvisory

Today marked the end of the 25/26 American Chamber of Commerce Ireland Women in Global Organisations peer mentoring programme, and what an experience it’s been! Over the past number of months, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with an incredible group of high-achieving women across a multitude of industries. The openness, honesty and willingness to share both successes and challenges made this experience genuinely impactful. One of the highlights for me was having the chance to speak on a panel at our final session today and reflect on my own journey, from leaving college without a clear plan, to building a personal brand through a passion project, to where I am today in Teneo . It’s been anything but linear, but that’s exactly what has shaped how I think about growth, resilience and opportunity. A few reflections I’m taking away: ✨ There’s no single blueprint for leadership, your approach will (and should) evolve. ✨Backing yourself early matters, even when others might not see it yet. ✨The value of strong, honest mentors cannot be overstated, and just as importantly, creating space to mentor others is a responsibility, not a checkbox. A huge thank you to the facilitators for creating such a thoughtful and engaging programme, and to the brilliant women I had the privilege of learning from - your insights, support and candour made this what it was. Looking forward to staying connected and continuing the conversation. Today's back drop was Workday all thanks to Fiona Melrose who gave an incredible opening key note!!

We were delighted to host news industry leaders to discuss the role and relevance of news today; how audiences are actually reached now; what really drives trust; and how news organisations are adapting their models for the future. The thought-provoking session yesterday was one of the highlights of Teneo Strategy and Communication's away day in London. Huge thanks to guests Deborah Turness (former BBC CEO / NBC President / ITN CEO and Editor), Kamal Ahmed (Editorial Director Fortune / Economics Editor BBC / Business Editor Sunday Telegraph/ Political Editor The Observer) and JamesHarding (Editor in chief of The Observer / Director of News BBC / Editor The Times) for such an open and thoughtful discussion and John Shield for chairing.

Fantastic privilege to have such an amazing panel at today’s Teneo away day in London to discuss the media’s battles against the tide of nonsense in the public realm, and the tricky commercial environment. Big thanks to Deborah Turness, James Harding and Kamal Ahmed!
