AI for Business: Stop Kicking the Can — A Guide to Getting Started

In this episode of Talking SME, Jane O'Gorman sits down with Paul Mann, founder of Pathmaker Advisory, to cut through the noise around AI and get straight to what matters for business owners and leaders. Paul shares why now is the critical inflection point for non-tech companies to adopt AI, why wary scepticism is understandable but commercial inaction is risky, and — crucially — how to take those first practical steps without getting overwhelmed. A great starting point for making AI work for your business today. 

A bit about Paul

Paul Mann is the founder of Pathmaker - an AI Advisory firm. He has spent over two decades at the intersection of R&D, go-to-market strategy, and consultancy — working with accountancy firms, tech startups, VC houses, and AI labs. He was the commerical lead for an AI Talent Intelligence startup, and spent over a decade building a consultancy with former KPMG colleagues. With a career rooted in the SME market, Paul has a sharp eye for what holds businesses back — and it's rarely ideas or ambition; it's time and bandwidth. He founded Pathmaker to help business owners cut through the noise and build AI into how they work, before the window to differentiate closes.
