CIO Inspired Magazine North September 2026

The September 2026 North edition of CIO Inspired, published for our North Summit, explores the people, data and foundations that technology success really depends on. With contributions from Phoenix Medical Supplies, Neurodiversity in Business, Birds Eye, Nasstar and Scott Bader, the issue covers AI readiness and data governance, neuroinclusive technology, resilience and compliance in manufacturing, transformation and growth, and turning data into something people trust. Readers will find candid, practical insight into how technology leaders are balancing ambition with the groundwork needed to deliver it.

Why AI Outruns Understanding

In our cover feature, Chris Tunnicliffe of Phoenix Medical Supplies explains why AI often outruns an organisation's understanding of its own data, and why missing business context can leave AI sounding just as confident about a wrong answer as a right one. Lorraine Burns shows how technology can reduce friction and cognitive load for neurodivergent people, and why accessibility is not the same as inclusion. Gary Hayden shares how NIS2 has changed leadership accountability and how he builds high-performing IT and OT teams at Birds Eye, while Nasstar's Group CEO Chris Halbard tells Poppy Goggin-Jones why most failed AI investments have nothing to do with the technology. Finally, Simon Ball of Scott Bader reflects on 25 years moving between code and leadership, from beginning with the bonfires in a complex IT estate to making data something people actually trust.

Information Technology
CIO Inspired Magazine September 2026
Welcome to the latest issue of CIO Inspired, where we bring together the voices shaping Ireland's technology landscape. In this edition, we sit down with Chris Halbard, Group CEO of Nasstar, to explore what it really takes to grow a business through connectivity, cloud, data and engineering, and why he believes most AI transformations succeed or fail not on the strength of the technology, but on the people behind it. Elsewhere, leaders from Vodafone Ireland, Kingspan Light + Air, FoodHub and beyond share hard-won perspectives on rethinking the enterprise, building high-performing IT and OT teams, and moving past the algorithm to put people back at the centre of project management. Whether you're navigating your own transformation journey or simply looking for fresh thinking from peers across the region, this issue is packed with the kind of candid, practical insight that only comes from people who've been in the room where it happens.
