Artificial Intelligence
At TransforMATive, we believe that moving from good to great isn’t just a slogan—it’s a deliberate strategy. As Jim Collins reminds us, “greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice.” And for us, that choice is shaped by disciplined people, disciplined thought, and disciplined action.
For Multi-Academy Trusts, this journey isn’t a solo venture. It’s fuelled by long-term vision, robust governance, and the thoughtful enablement of technology—including the emerging power of AI. When these elements align, we see more than organisational growth; we see communities thrive and children flourish.
It was a privilege to join Samira Sadeghi from the Confederation of School Trusts (CST) for her keynote on this very theme. Her reflections brought clarity to the leadership required for transformation—and reinforced the importance of bold, strategic decision-making in education. A heartfelt thank you to Samira for her insight, and to Lorrayne Hughes OBE and the Cumbria Education Trust team for the generous invitation and warm hospitality.
And most importantly, thank you to the pupils whose performances brought such energy and inspiration to the day. Their passion reminds us exactly why this work matters.
From vision to action, from systems to culture, the path from good to great is not a straight line. But it is a shared journey—and one we’re proud to walk with courage, clarity, and care.
