Insight for faithful work and leadership.

In The AI Advantage, Marcelle van Niekerk challenged business leaders to rethink the way they approach artificial intelligence. Rather than asking, “How do I learn AI?”, the session encouraged attendees to consider a more practical question: “How do I work with AI?” Christian business breakfast
The presentation explored the shift from artificial intelligence to augmented intelligence—using AI not as a replacement for human expertise, but as a tool that strengthens problem-solving, decision-making and creativity. Through practical business applications, Marcelle demonstrated how AI can assist with areas such as analysing customer feedback, identifying opportunities, developing marketing content and asking better questions.

A key focus of the session was the importance of keeping people at the centre of technology. While AI can process information and generate insights, effective leadership still depends on distinctly human qualities such as integrity, discernment, compassion, meaningful relationships and responsible stewardship. The message was simple: technology can inform, but wisdom transforms. Christian business breakfast
Attendees left with a practical challenge: identify a real business problem, ask better questions, use AI wisely and keep learning—positioning AI as a partner in better thinking rather than simply a tool for working faster. Christian business breakfast

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.
