The Human Orbit Podcast

Most companies are running AI pilots. Almost none are seeing real ROI. Why?

Ian Wilson, Chief Innovation Officer at N2 Group, has spent years watching enterprises adopt AI the wrong way. He uses JP Morgan as a benchmark: build dedicated AI teams, play the long game, and the returns follow. Most others chased short-term wins by cutting staff and called it transformation. In this episode, he gets into the open vs closed LLM debate, vertical vs horizontal AI strategy for founders, the quiet collapse of SaaS valuations nobody is talking about, and why AI data centres, energy, and geopolitics are shaping the next wave of enterprise decisions.

Ian also raises something that should keep every AI startup founder up at night: the Law of Obsolescence. One of our most grounded, no-fluff conversations yet.
