What if your finance team could build their own expense categoriser by Friday — without ever raising an IT ticket? 🚀

The latest piece in Executive Edge Magazine by Dr Julie Qualter unpacks how Claude Code is quietly rewriting the productivity playbook for business leaders in 2026. 💡

Here's the uncomfortable truth: 72% of enterprises now run AI workloads in production, yet 94% report seeing no significant value from them. The gap isn't the technology — it's that most organisations are still using AI to draft emails faster, rather than building the small internal apps that remove those emails entirely. 📊

✨ "Drafting an email faster is useful. Building the small internal app that removes the email entirely is transformative." — Dr Julie Qualter

With Claude Code and the Model Context Protocol now connecting to over 6,000 business apps, non-developers can commission working internal tools in plain English — bespoke dashboards, workflow fixes, lead taggers — in hours rather than months. 🛠️

And with only 16% of UK businesses currently using AI, the competitive window is still wide open for leaders who shift from experimenting with AI to building with it.

✨ "Don't ask what's broken. Ask what's possible."

In this Executive Edge Magazine interview, global speaker, mind coach and bestselling author Sharron Lowe challenges the traditional coaching model head-on. Instead of the "what's broken, what do we fix" approach, she champions celebration, continual evolution and what she calls "productive disturbance" — the deliberate shift from extrinsic motivation to intrinsic, lasting change. 🚀

Her framework has moved entire organisations — including a mindset shift in 1,000 beauty consultants that repositioned a luxury brand for the first time in its history and generated millions in additional sales. 💼✨

With three decades coaching executives for CHANEL, Christian Dior, Estée Lauder and L'Oréal across 50+ countries, Sharron's message is clear: lasting transformation starts with the questions we choose to ask. 🧠

"Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up." — Elon Musk

Most people don't fail because they couldn't do it. They stop because it got hard, slow, or uncertain.

But the only real ending is the one forced on you. Everything else is a choice to keep going — or not.

Keep going.
