Prof. Penny Hay holds a title that does work before she says a single word: Professor of Imagination. In a world of educational metrics, league tables, and STEM priorities, that title stakes a deliberate claim — that imagination isn't peripheral to education. It's the substance itself, the foundational human capability from which everything education is supposed to produce actually grows.
Jon Ward has spent thirty years at the frontier of enterprise transformation as a management consultant, three-time Group CEO, Business Agility Ambassador, published author, and now, architect of governance frameworks for agentic AI. His central message to boards in 2026 is blunt: don't ask what AI can do for you. Ask what your business is actually for and only then ask which mechanism, human or machine, gets you there fastest without losing control of it.
