AI won't fix your organizations. It will scale the weaknesses.

I have spent more than 26 years in the technology industry, working across complex systems, large-scale platforms, and global organizations. Across industries and regions, one pattern is consistent: transformation efforts fail not because of technology, but because decision-making structures, governance models, and human behavior are not designed for change at scale.

In the AI age, this gap has become a material business risk. AI amplifies bias in systems, accelerates poor decisions, and exposes fragile leadership and operating models. What many organizations frame as an “AI challenge” is, in reality, a decision quality, governance, and organizational resilience problem.

My work focuses on neuroscience-driven transformation - applying evidence-based insights on how humans think, decide, respond to risk, and collaborate under uncertainty. Neuroscience is not a soft discipline; it is a performance lens. Organizations that understand attention, motivation, fear, and cognitive bias build better systems, make better decisions, and execute transformation more effectively.

Since founding Lardi & Partner Consulting in 2012, I have led more than 50 major transformation initiatives worldwide, including strategic programs for governments and Fortune 500 organizations. My experience spans multiple industries and exponential technologies, including artifiticial intelligence, blockchain, IoT, AR, VR and emerging digital architectures; always with a focus on measurable outcomes and long-term enterprise value.

I am the author of Artificial Intelligence for Business, a comprehensive guide to AI and its practical application in organizations, as well as the bestselling The Human Side of Digital Business Transformation. Both reflect my focus on translating complex technologies into strategic, operational, and governance decisions that deliver real business impact.

I am a recognized global voice on digital transformation and leadership, with my perspective grounded in execution, not theory, and shaped by decades of working where technology, power, and organizational reality intersect.

I work with senior leaders and boards who want to strengthen decision-making, reduce systemic risk, and build organizations that are resilient, adaptive, and fit for the AI era.

Working at the intersection of systems and stories — designing the architectures that shape our digital future, while keeping sight of the values and narratives that make it worth building.

I operate across three connected domains:

- Foundational AI and machine learning research, exploring the structures, representations, and emergent dynamics of intelligent systems. Forthcoming book set with World Scientific.

- Computational simulation and policy research, modelling technological change, market power, and institutional futures. Forthcoming book with leading educational publisher.

- Practical automation and agentic workflows, turning advanced models into real-world tools that augment human capability. Forthcoming book with Packt.

Alongside this technical work, I maintain an active visual and conceptual art practice, approaching creativity as a complementary form of systems thinking — a way of making abstract ideas tangible and humane.

As an Advisory Board member of the World Innovation and Change Management Institute (WICMI), I contribute to shaping research agendas around transformation, governance, and responsible innovation. Most recently, we published an AI governance manifesto exploring the need for new institutional frameworks:

My writing and research examine the deep relationship between political economy, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence — particularly the concentration of computational power, control over behavioural data, and the economics of algorithmic extraction.
