Guest post by Cathy Mauzaize, President, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at ServiceNow As businesses shift from AI experimentation to full-scale implementation, bridging the AI trust gap has never been more urgent. While AI-driven innovations drive productivity, they also introduce new uncertainties. Executives across the C-suite must take the lead, embracing change and continuous learning. In EMEA, we are at a pivotal moment. Governments and business leaders alike are looking to ensure the benefits of agentic AI are maximised responsibly. As intelligent agents become embedded across front and back-offices, trust and accountability remain top priorities. Governance isn't just IT's responsibility - it requires active leadership from the entire C-suite. As global AI regulations tighten, clear governance can ensure AI is deployed transparently, ethically, and securely. AI decision-making must be explainable and fair to earn trust from employees, customers, and stakeholders. This trust doesn't just happen - it's built by active commitment, which business leaders must champion from the top down. Attitudes towards AI are shifting The dramatic rise in the use of generative AI and agentic AI has raised valid concerns around security, data privacy, regulatory compliance, and even the risk of employee over-reliance on AI, at the expense of human judgment. The key is balance: pairing the speed of AI with the empathy of human insight. ServiceNow's 2025 Consumer Voice Report shows how attitudes are evolving. Today, only a fraction of consumers in EMEA trust AI to handle a suspicious transaction. Yet, in the next three years, 33% say they would trust AI in the same scenario. Growing confidence signals greater comfort with AI handling critical tasks. Crucially, increased trust doesn't remove the need for human oversight. This isn't a choice of one over the other. AI and humans thrive when working together seamlessly, with leaders setting the direction for integrating AI effectively into workflows. Trust in AI starts with data For AI to be effective and trusted, it must be built on a solid foundation of clean, reliable data. I've seen this happen time and again over the past two years with proof-of-concept projects. Without strong data management that ensures accuracy, fairness, and relevance, AI will deliver weak outcomes - and take longer to deliver value. Meanwhile, users trust AI more when they understand how data is used and how decisions are made. However, biased data can lead to biased results, eroding confidence. By taking the lead in identifying bias and maintaining oversight, leaders ensure AI operates responsibly across both teams and data flows. Transparency shouldn't stop at internal audiences. Communicating clearly with customers about how AI processes data helps foster long-term trust and ensures that business impact is fully understood. Innovative leaders put governance and orchestration at the heart of AI adoption, establishing transparency as a core component of their business transformation. Leadership-led AI AI has the power to transform businesses, offering new ways to solve real-world challenges. This isn't some future promise. AI agents are already delivering tangible results today. One utility provider I recently met in the Middle East is a great example - they're exploring how to leverage AI agents to automate billing dispute resolution by analysing historical consumption data, recommending solutions, and triggering downstream actions. The result: faster resolution times, higher customer satisfaction, and reduced operational costs. Given the tangible value, it's no surprise that IDC projects that, by 2025, 50% of organisations will use enterprise AI agents configured for specific business tasks. Yet, the difference between unlocking AI's full value and falling short comes down to leadership. The path to success starts with leadership buy-in and investment in innovations that enable centralised, transparent, a...

Are we preparing people as quickly as we're preparing machines? That's the uncomfortable question at the heart of Coursera's 2025 Global Skills Report, and the starting point for my conversation with Nikolaz Foucaud, Coursera's Managing Director for EMEA. As the UK jumps more than 20 spots in global skills rankings and countries like Singapore and Denmark widen the gap with lifelong learning cultures, we explore why mindset may be as important as access when it comes to reskilling for an AI-driven economy. Nikolaz explains how the newly introduced AI Maturity Index reflects the growing urgency around workforce readiness and why governments and employers need to stop thinking in degrees and start investing in micro-credentials that reflect what learners and businesses actually need. We also unpack the gender gap in AI learning, the alarming lack of growth in cybersecurity skills, and why economic pressure often drives the highest levels of completion and success. As institutions, employers, and individuals try to catch up with the pace of technological change, what will it take to build a learning culture that keeps momentum? And are we measuring the right things when we talk about readiness? Let me know what you think.

The UK saw another round of combined sterling and gilt weakness, a pattern which is becoming worryingly familiar. Politics elsewhere seemed to have run a bit more smoothly with the US budget bill passing through the Senate and House, teeing up some degree of fiscal expansion for the year ahead. Tariffs remain on the agenda for the week ahead, as we approach the 9 July deadline.

In this 100th episode of Street Signals, a theme ever-present throughout its two-year history comes to the fore once again: the ability of financial markets to come to grips with and move past seemingly implacable uncertainty. Q2 2025 alone provided what felt like a decade's worth of seismic and (theoretically) negative shocks to sentiment, yet equity markets have recovered quickly and are poised to push to new all-time highs, while many traditional safe haven currencies are on the back foot. This week, Peter Vincent, head of FX trading in EMEA for State Street Markets and a podcast regular, returns to offer his thinking on why markets remain so resilient in the face of such risks, whether the US growth outlook is poised to deteriorate and his outlook for currencies in the coming months.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minister Patrick O'Donovan TD was joined by Vanessa Hartley, Head of Google Ireland to celebrate the official opening of The Factory, a dedicated community arts and culture space located at Bolands Mills, the new urban quarter made possible by Google. Designed as a home for creativity, collaboration, and community engagement, The Factory reaffirms Google's long-standing commitment to its local community. Long a landmark on Dublin's cultural map, The Factory has hosted legendary names like The Bolshoi Ballet, U2, and David Bowie, who have spent time here, performing, recording or rehearsing. The Factory has also nurtured some of Ireland's most talented actors and film-makers. Paying homage to its rich history, the space has been restored by Google in consultation with multiple local community groups across the arts and creative industries including the National Performance Arts School, Neurodiversity Irishtown, Ringsend & Pearse Street (NIRP), RMS Music, the Dublin 4 Dance Academy, St Andrews Resource Centre, Ringsend Community Services Forum, Education Task Force and This City Works. Vanessa Hartley, Head of Google Ireland said: "For 22 years, Google has been proud to call Ireland home to our EMEA headquarters. What began with just five employees in a shared office has grown into a thriving team of over 5,000 people around Barrow Street. But our presence here has always been about more than just offices - it's about being a supportive part of the local community. "With the opening of The Factory, we're creating a revitalised space for arts, culture, and creativity - a space for people to come together, express themselves, and nurture the talent of the Dublin Docklands. This is just one part of our commitment to being an active, helpful neighbour, and we're extremely grateful to all those who helped bring this vision to life." The Factory is located at the site of the historic Bolands flour mills which was acquired by Google in 2018. Now complete, the restoration of the 150-year-old mill and surrounding site includes over 50,000 square feet of newly landscaped outdoor areas alongside 30,000 square feet of retail and community space. Bolands Mills also provides a new hub for Google's engineering teams, retail spaces for an eclectic mix of independent local businesses, as well as 46 discounted-rental apartments made available to key workers supporting the local community via Clúid. Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport, Patrick O'Donovan said: "The restoration of The Factory is a shining example of how we can preserve our cultural heritage while creating new opportunities for creativity and community. Spaces like this are essential for fostering artistic expression, inclusion, and innovation - especially in dynamic urban areas like the Dublin Docklands. I commend Google for their ongoing commitment to cultural engagement and look forward to seeing The Factory become a vibrant hub for local talent and creative collaboration." The Factory is now ready to continue the creative legacy of The Docklands. As a versatile hub for all forms of expression, it has been redesigned for flexibility and inclusivity - offering a blank canvas for diverse voices, sounds, and rhythms of the neighbourhood. From 2025, this storied space will be available for local groups to book for various creative, educational, and cultural activities. Requests for booking can be made at https://bolandsmills.com/event-spaces/. Speaking at the event, local artist Paula Moen said: "The arts are a vital part of Ireland's cultural identity. Spaces like The Factory at Bolands Mills are essential in nurturing creativity and community connection. The support of a global company like Google is invaluable and very much appreciated in our local communities - not only does it help preserve our rich artistic heritage, but it also empowers local artists to thrive and innovate. It's crucial that we continue to champion our homegrown talent and create opportunities for...

ServiceNow, the AI platform for business transformation, has released its latest Enterprise AI Maturity Index in partnership with Oxford Economics. The findings reveal a surprising trend in Europe and the Middle East: although AI investment continues to grow, the average AI maturity score across the region has dropped by 10 points year over year. As enterprises struggle to keep pace with rapid innovation, many are finding it difficult to translate AI ambition into scalable, effective execution. The index examines five key components indicative of AI maturity level: leadership and strategy, workflows, talent, governance, and investment. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of how prepared organisations are to scale AI successfully. Now in its second year, the global report draws on insights from almost 4,500 respondents globally, including 1,950 across nine markets in Europe and the Middle East. It shows that emerging technologies, such as agentic AI, are fuelling experimentation and delivering early returns across Europe and the Middle East. However, the pace of change is moving faster than organisations are able to scale AI in a structured, governed way. To this end, the region's average AI maturity score has dropped 10 points year-on-year, from 44 to just 34 out of 100. "Organisations across Europe and the Middle East are accelerating their AI projects, but many are still in the early stages of their journey," said Cathy Mauzaize, President, EMEA at ServiceNow. "They recognise the potential, and now is the time to build on that energy. To keep moving forward, organisations are exploring how to lay the right foundations to make the data work for them and give their people the skills to use AI with confidence. According to IDC, European spending on artificial intelligence will reach $144.6 billion in 2028. The opportunity is huge, but only if we focus on getting the basics right today." The report outlines three major trends shaping the region's AI journey and what's needed to turn early success into lasting transformation. AI is outpacing organisations' capacity to harness it There is a clear appetite for innovation, with nearly half (47%) of organisations in Europe and the Middle East launching more than 100 AI use cases in the past year. Still, most remain in the early stages of implementation, as reflected in this year's overall European AI maturity score of just 34. The majority of the region's organisations are focused on experimentation and expansion, with only 6% reaching the augmentation stage, which is the most advanced stage identified in the survey. Agentic AI presents a clear opportunity Agentic AI, which is AI that can act autonomously, is poised to reshape enterprise automation. However, awareness varies widely across the region. While 15% of organisations in Europe and the Middle East are already using agentic AI and 42% plan to implement it within 12 months, familiarity is still in its early days. Only one in five organisations is very family with agentic AI, revealing a significant knowledge gap. The opportunity is clear, with over half of early adopters in Europe reporting improved gross margins (58%), greater efficiency and productivity (59%), and better experiences (60%). Governance is the missing link Rising adoption brings rising risk. AI at scale introduces serious challenges around cybersecurity, privacy, and regulatory compliance. However, progress on governance has stalled in Europe and the Middle East. The number of organisations making significant strides in AI data governance has dropped from 45% to 42% year-on-year. Similarly, those succeeding in breaking down data and operational silos declined slightly from 43% to 42%. This points to a need for greater focus on managing AI risk effectively. The pause in progress on AI governance indicates organisations must place greater emphasis on this, given that data security is cited as the number one barrier to realising AI value. To scale AI sa...

When it comes to discussions about artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, most immediately veer into negative territory. It's hard not to feel alarmed when most headlines we read about AI range from the outrageous to the terrifying. But in reality, what are most organizations actually using AI for? How are systems, protocols, and processes being updated by AI-enabled technologies? And what does the increasing use of AI in companies mean for distributed teams and flexible work? These questions are why Team IIP hosted an Executive Roundtable to discuss, “Beyond Automation: Will AI Enhance or Disrupt Flexible Work?”. We brought together leaders from across EMEA, with experience in and around the tech industry, to share what the AI conversation really looked like in their companies. This episode of the Inclusion in Progress Podcast is a quick debrief of our roundtable, where we discuss… Who is currently leading the AI conversations in organizations How leaders are addressing skepticism and encouraging innovation around AI What ongoing employee AI upskilling and talent development strategies look like today Why the rise of AI signals the consolidation — rather than elimination — of flexible work Thanks to Henrik Jarleskog, Joke Van Hamme, and Surbhi Srivastava for participating and sharing your insights with us!

For the past six years, Circana has collaborated with NYU's Stern Center for Sustainable Business to produce a report on sustainability in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) marketplace. While sustainability-marked products in the U.S. continue to gain share, their research shows that shares of sustainability-marked products are much larger in the UK and Germany. This episode dives into the comparison between the U.S., UK, and Germany, offering insights and inspiration for CPG manufacturers and retailers. Highlights: Many categories with low shares of sustainability-marked products in the U.S. have high shares in EMEA. U.S. manufacturers should revisit claims that matter to shoppers. A market leader moving to sustainability drives the trend for the category. Failing to do so opens the door for challenger brands, which could erode loyalty and share. In Europe, much of the increase in sales of sustainable products is driven by retailers. European retailers are incentivized to adopt sustainable practices, with regulations providing both incentives and penalties. European consumers consider the lack of sustainability to be a barrier to trial.

In this special preview of the CCA European Summit, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, interviews Jeff Korn, CEO and Chairman of Crexendo, a leading telecom platform provider and active member of the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA). Set to speak on a key panel at the Brussels event, Korn outlines Crexendo's bold vision for open, best-of-breed ecosystems in telecom. “We recently surpassed 6 million users, making us the third largest platform in the U.S. serving third parties,” Korn reports. “That growth is driven by our open APIs, flexible deployment options, and a commitment to giving customers full control of their platforms.” Crexendo's NetSapiens platform enables providers to shape telecom solutions to fit their own business needs — not someone else's template. “We don't believe in one-size-fits-all,” says Korn. “With our open APIs and customizable interfaces, our licensees can create exactly what they need — or integrate tools from any vendor they choose.” One of the platform's most disruptive features is its pricing model: Crexendo charges by sessions, not seats. “Why should schools or hotels pay for phones that aren't in use? You only pay for the sessions you need,” says Korn. This usage-based pricing creates massive cost-efficiency for verticals with seasonality or compliance-based phone requirements. Looking beyond North America, Korn discussed Crexendo's expansion across EMEA, highlighting a strategic partnership with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that allows the company to rapidly deploy localized services in countries with strict data sovereignty laws. “We can now spin up a compliant, country-specific instance in days,” notes Korn. “That's a game-changer for growth across Europe, Africa, and Asia.” As Crexendo continues its global ascent, Korn will join other industry leaders in Brussels, sharing how openness, flexibility, and customer-first design can power innovation across borders.
