Introducing Technically Speaking: A New Podcast from Audacia
The questions facing technology leaders have changed substantially in the past two years. AI is moving from experimentation into operational use, and the governance, infrastructure and accountability decisions that come with it are reshaping how organisations think about delivery. The CIO role is being redefined alongside it, with technical leaders increasingly expected to operate as business strategists rather than functional heads. All of this is happening while organisations continue to grapple with the complexity of large-scale legacy systems that underpin day-to-day operations.
Technically Speaking is a new podcast from Audacia, hosted by Technical Director Richard Brown. Each episode is a conversation with a senior technology leader working through these questions in practice. CIOs, CTOs, advisors and programme leads from across industry, talking about what they have built, what has worked, and what has proved harder than expected.
The series is structured around the topics currently dominating technical steering agendas, from moving AI out of proof of concept and into production, to the governance frameworks needed once AI is doing real work, the infrastructure and architecture decisions that determine whether initiatives ever reach operational value, and the evolving expectations placed on technology leadership itself.
At Audacia, we spend a lot of time working alongside organisations that are building and evolving complex digital estates. In these projects, some of the most valuable insights emerge through conversations between engineers, product teams and technology leaders. The podcast gives us an opportunity to share those conversations more widely, bringing together perspectives from our team and our wider network to explore ideas, challenges and lessons in an open and useful way.
The first episode releases shortly. Further episodes will follow on a regular cadence.
