People. Technology. AI. External expertise.

Businesses have access to more capability than ever before.

But having more available does not make the decision easier.

Resourcefulness starts with what the business is trying to achieve, then works out which resources make sense.

What does the problem actually need?

People

Sometimes the answer is additional capacity, different skills or a new role.

Technology

Sometimes technology can remove work, extend capability or change how something gets done.

External expertise

Sometimes buying specialist expertise makes more sense than building it internally.

Leadership

Sometimes the missing resource is experienced leadership for a period of change, uncertainty or implementation.

The answer may be one of these. It may be a combination. The point is to decide before you buy.

Why Resourcefulness?

Why Resourcefulness?

Most of my working life has involved decisions about how to get things done: what a team can take on, when to bring in people, and when technology or outside expertise will help. I’ve seen a problem turn quickly into a recruitment brief, a request for more capacity or a plan to buy software. Sometimes those are exactly the right answers. I kept coming back to an earlier question: what does this problem actually need?

AI has widened the choices available to businesses. My time on the LSE AI Leadership Accelerator sharpened thinking I’d developed through years of making those decisions. That led me to create Resourcefulness: giving the problem proper attention before deciding which people, technology or outside expertise it actually needs.

There are personal influences too. Four years coaching mini rugby has reinforced the importance of recognising different strengths and developing people. And the claret and amber? That’s a small nod to Bradford City, the club I support.
