🤖 Putting People at the Centre of AI Transformation

CIO Views Magazine proudly features Melanie Cheeseman, Owner & Founder at The Cotswold Leadership Academy, on the front cover of “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭, 2026.”

Melanie Cheeseman’s journey into AI transformation is anything but conventional. With a career spanning financial services, education, marketing, leadership, coaching, positive psychology, and business ownership, she brings a perspective to AI that goes beyond technology: the human experience of change.

Today, through her work with OnyxAI at Emerge Digital, Melanie focuses on the golden triangle of people, process, and technology, helping organisations understand that successful AI transformation depends not only on what technology can do, but on whether people trust it, understand it, and feel confident using it.

Her leadership philosophy recognizes that hesitation is not resistance, training alone does not guarantee capability, and transformation cannot succeed when employees feel left behind. Instead, meaningful adoption requires confidence, empathy, inclusion, communication, and a clear sense of purpose.

From leading teams through the early days of internet banking to navigating diverse professional worlds, Melanie has consistently stood at the intersection of people and change.

Her story offers an important reminder for today’s leaders: AI transformation is ultimately a people transformation.

🏥 Built Around Care: A Vision for African Healthcare

CIO Views Magazine proudly features Albert Mandela Ogendi, Executive Director at The Luton Hospital, on the front cover of “𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚'𝐬 10 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 2026.”

For Albert Mandela Ogendi, healthcare leadership is deeply personal. Growing up alongside a healthcare worker and experiencing hospitals himself as a young patient shaped a powerful understanding of service, vulnerability, trust, and compassionate care.

His journey from healthcare supply and pharmaceutical businesses to leading Luton Hospital reflects an entrepreneurial mindset grounded in one purpose: building a healthcare institution worthy of the trust patients and families place in it.

Albert believes sustainable healthcare requires balancing three essential priorities: patients, people, and performance. From patient feedback and employee engagement to financial sustainability, technology, infrastructure, and reinvestment, his leadership approach recognizes that exceptional care can only thrive within a strong and sustainable institution.

What distinguishes his vision is the belief that running a hospital is about more than operations. It is about restoring hope, strengthening teams, building resilient systems, and creating lasting impact.

Through Luton Hospital, Albert is demonstrating how purpose-driven entrepreneurship and human-centered leadership can help shape a stronger future for healthcare across Africa.
