Omniadigital's Podcast Mon, 07 Sep 2026 06:16:15 -0400 https://omniadigital.ai/podcast en-gb © 2026 Omniadigital's Podcast yes 6b50a133-c4c3-57ed-bca8-b0c4db087321 Omniadigital episodic false The Omniadigital Podcast explores how organisations optimise their current digital landscape to maximise its return, transform to a new digital technology or maturity with expert advice, and solve one-off problems utilising people, process and technology to enable the data across the full digital landscape.

Hosted by Lucy Lynch, the podcast features practical, experience-led conversations with leaders and practitioners working across data, analytics, AI, technology, and business transformation. Each episode focuses on how organisations move from ambition to execution, and from activity to measurable value.


We examine what it really takes to optimise existing systems and capabilities, transform operating models and ways of working, and solve complex business problems using connected intelligence. The discussion goes beyond tools and trends to cover governance, culture, leadership, risk, and delivery, the factors that determine whether digital initiatives succeed or fail.


This podcast is for senior leaders, transformation teams, and professionals who want clarity, not hype, and outcomes that stand up to scrutiny.

One that should amplify human creativity rather than replace it. Joe stresses that “AI is the assistant, not the author,” urging leaders to wield emerging technologies with wisdom, vigilance, and heart.

They explore how people respond to change, why empathy is the foundation of transformation, and how leaders can help “caterpillars” in organizations envision their butterfly potential. Joe also opens up about staying grounded despite global recognition, crediting his faith, family, and upbringing for keeping him anchored.

Samir shares his back story from a pivotal moment early in his career when a CEO asked the simple but powerful question, “What am I going to get from this?”  - to building a consultancy focused on outcomes, not technology for technology’s sake.

Together, Lucy and Samir explore:

  • Why data and AI programmes fail when they’re disconnected from business strategy
  • The danger of prioritising outputs (dashboards, tools) over outcomes (decisions, value)
  • How starting with business questions, decisions, and measurable objectives changes everything
  • The role of culture, change, governance, and data quality in sustainable success
  • Why AI should be treated as an enabler, not a silver bullet. And where organisations are getting it wrong

The key message: Data and AI aren’t about being more advanced, they’re about being more intentional.

The result is familiar: overwhelm, reactivity, late-night replaying of meetings and a constant fear of being “found out”.

In this episode of the Omnidigital Podcast, Lucy sits down with leadership coach and former NatWest data director Alex Patience to explore what really happens when technical experts step into management. Alex shares his own story of becoming an “accidental leader”, the coaching conversation that changed everything, and the patterns he now sees across data and tech teams.

They talk about imposter-like feelings, perfectionism, constant transformation, introverts in loud meetings, and the myth that leaders should know everything before acting. Alex offers simple, practical shifts you can use straight away, from asking better questions to creating psychological safety and getting the best from quieter voices.

If you lead in a data or technical environment and feel you’re carrying too much on your shoulders, this conversation will help you see alternative ways to lead without burning out.
