Why Your Marketing Isn’t Working Anymore – And What To Do About It!
Why Your Marketing Isn’t Working Anymore – And What To Do About It!In this episode of the Just Great People podcast, Barry Eustance sits down with Tracy Borreson to unpack one of the biggest issues facing leaders, marketers and founders today: modern marketing has become so complex that it’s stopped working. Tracy argues that businesses are drowning in tools, automations and data, yet starving for the one element that has always driven sales and brand loyalty: real human connection. Tracy explores how businesses replace meaningful conversations with automated funnels, and why this shift has weakened customer insight, reduced conversion rates and created overwhelmed teams. She explains why organisations must simplify their systems, redesign the way they speak to customers and return to the fundamentals of relationship-led communication.Barry and Tracy discuss everything from micro-experiments in marketing to why junior marketers are being set up to fail, and how legacy skills like curiosity, listening and live customer conversations outperform any CRM workflow. They also examine why entrepreneurs should think like they’re standing at a farmer’s market: what would make someone stop, pay attention and talk to you?This is a practical and provocative episode for leaders who want better performance, simpler systems, and marketing that actually generates a return.To explore how authentic communication and customer understanding strengthen performance and culture, visit The Sixsess Consultancy:Home: https://sixsess.org/Insights Blog: https://sixsess.org/insights/blog/Connect with Tracy Borreson and learn more about her advisory and coaching work:Tracy Borreson: https://www.tlbcoaching.com/Prostate Cancer UK: https://prostatecanceruk.org/Tracy and Barry's Previous Just Great Peopl Podcast: https://youtu.be/b3xVdq9MOpI?si=ltMHR5Sr-y0ngWKIKeywordsauthentic marketing strategyhuman-centred marketingcustomer insight for leaderssimplifying marketing systemsmarketing and sales alignmentcustomer research methodsleadership communication skillsmicro-experiments in marketingreturn on marketing investmentrelationship-based sellingmodern marketing challengesdigital overwhelm in businessI hope you really enjoyed our podcast and found it to be inspiring and insightful.Please remember to LIKE our podcast and please DO SUBSCRIBE !!I really look forward to reading and replying to your thoughts and comments.Many thanksKindest regardsBarry

Europe’s Small Airlines: Why the Economics No Longer Add Up
Europe’s Small Airlines: Why the Economics No Longer Add Up – A Just Great People Conversation with Stratos 12DescriptionIn this Just Great People deep-dive, Barry Eustance and aviation specialist Remco Althuis explore the real state of Europe’s small airline sector. This is the first in a new series of conversations between The Sixsess Consultancy and Stratos 12, offering straight-talking analysis on the operational realities facing the aviation industry today. Remco and Barry take a frank look at the structural disadvantages small carriers operate under: thin networks, fragile balance sheets, high exposure to shocks and limited access to capital. They walk through the performance of Air Baltic, Air Serbia, Brussels Airlines and Tarom before examining niche but essential players like Loganair, Binter Canarias, Emerald Airlines, Air Corsica and Widerøe. The discussion also covers the recent collapses of Play, BRA, CityJet and Eastern Airways – and the recurring reasons why small carriers fail. Across every example, one theme comes through clearly: standalone regional airlines are running out of room. Cost pressures, labour shortages, fuel volatility and fleet renewal demands are making consolidation the only realistic path for survival. Widereøe’s acquisition by Norwegian is one example of what the future now looks like. This episode is a clear, grounded and accessible explanation of the pressures shaping European aviation – and why the economics of small airlines no longer add up.What we cover in this episode- Why small airlines operate with structural disadvantages- Performance trends across key European regional carriers- Niches that work – and the ones under growing pressure- The truth behind recent airline collapses and restructurings- Why ACMI is unstable unless the customer is stable- Consolidation, group protection and long-term survivability- Why the market needs small airlines, yet struggles to sustain themUseful LinksJust Great People Podcast – https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1mLL4YkJ9LEUPsjaZwBLAjoR-h8YEXpuThe Sixsess Consultancy – https://sixsess.orgPEOPLE Change Leadership and Management Framework – https://sixsess.org/training/people-change-management-leadership-framework-course/Stratos 12 Aviation Consultancy – https://stratos12.com/Keyword List European small airline sectorregional airlines Europeairline consolidation Europesmall airline financial pressureaviation operational riskEuropean airline performance analysisairline restructuring EuropeACMI carrier risksAir Baltic performanceAir Serbia aviation strategyBrussels Airlines financial resultsTarom restructuring challengesLoganair operations ScotlandBinter Canarias inter-island networkEmerald Airlines ATR operationsAir Corsica connectivityWiderøe Norwegian acquisitionairline failures EuropePlay collapseBRA restructuringCityJet ACMI operationsEastern Airways administrationaviation consulting servicesairline operational insightaviation industry analysisregional airline strategyairline cost structure supportI hope you really enjoyed our podcast and found it to be inspiring and insightful.Please remember to LIKE our podcast and please DO SUBSCRIBE !!I really look forward to reading and replying to your thoughts and comments.Many thanksKindest regardsBarry

Why AI Implementations Fail – and How PEOPLE Can Fix It | Barry Eustance & Mark Blackwell
Why AI Implementations Fail – and How PEOPLE Can Fix It | Barry Eustance & Mark BlackwellBarry Eustance, Founder of The Sixsess Consultancy, joins Mark Blackwell, Partner at Arkaro Consulting (Geneva), to explore one of the most revealing findings in the current AI landscape – why up to 95% of AI implementations fail.Drawing on evidence from Gartner, Kotter International, Hilary Scarlett’s neuroscience-based framework and Julie Hodges' People-centric Organizational Change, Barry and Mark discuss how the failure of AI adoption isn’t primarily about technology – it’s about people.They examine the link between the PEOPLE Change Management and Leadership Framework (The Sixsess Consultancy) and Hilary Scarlett’s S-P-A-C-E-S model (Neuroscience of Organisational Change). Both show how success depends on human factors – self-esteem, purpose, autonomy, certainty, equity, and social connection.Key discussion points:- Why between 70% and 95% of AI projects fail to meet objectives.- How leadership misunderstanding and “corporate FOMO” drive poor implementation.- The neuroscience of resistance to change and how to mitigate it.- How PEOPLE-centric leadership enables sustainable, effective AI adoption.- The link between PEOPLE and S-P-A-C-E-S – and why alignment matters.Barry and Mark explain:- AI is not the enemy. Mismanaged change is.- To succeed, organisations must focus on the PEOPLE who use AI, not just the systems that deliver it.Chapters:0:00 Introduction to Change Management Frameworks3:00 AI Implementation Challenges6:00 The S-P-A-C-E-S Framework9:00 AI and Organisational Strategy12:00 The Importance of People-Centric Leadership15:00 Empowerment and Optimisation in AI18:00 Purpose-Driven Vision and Learning21:00 Conclusion and Future TopicsLinks:The Sixsess Consultancy Home: https://sixsess.orgPEOPLE Change Management & Leadership Framework Course: https://sixsess.org/training/people-change-management-leadership-framework-course/Arkaro Consulting – Why AI Implementations Fail (Neuroscience Perspective): https://arkaro.com/why-ai-implementations-fail-neuroscience/MIT Research Shows What We've Been Saying: Why 95% of AI Implementations Failhttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mit-research-shows-what-weve-been-saying-why-95-ai-implementations-v8fuf/?trackingId=aWmCE23hSOaaMSIcn6Yk6A%3D%3DHilary Scarlett’s Neuroscience of Organization Change:https://www.koganpage.com/hr-learning-development/neuroscience-for-organizational-change-9781398621282Julie Hodges’ People-centric Organizational Change and Managing and Leading People through Organizational Change:https://www.koganpage.com/authors/julie-hodgesKeywords:AI Implementation Failure, The Sixsess Consultancy, Barry Eustance, Mark Blackwell, Arkaro Consulting, PEOPLE Change Management and Leadership Framework, Hilary Scarlett, S-P-A-C-E-S Framework, Organisational Change, AI Adoption, Change Management, Leadership and AI, Neuroscience of Change, Organisational Culture, Employee Engagement, Purpose-Driven Leadership, People-Centric Change, Technology Strategy, Cultural Transformation, Change Leadership, AI StrategyI hope you really enjoyed our podcast and found it to be inspiring and insightful.Please remember to LIKE our podcast and please DO SUBSCRIBE !!I really look forward to reading and replying to your thoughts and comments.Many thanksKindest regardsBarry

AI and the Future of Consulting - Embedding Strategy in Organisations
In this episode, Barry Eustance speaks with Mark Blackwell about the growing role of AI in consulting, and why human leadership remains central to successful organisational change.While artificial intelligence offers powerful tools for data management and strategic modelling, both Barry and Mark Blackwell emphasise that real transformation depends on people. They explore how consultants can use AI to enhance their work - but not replace human judgement, empathy, or cultural understanding.They discuss the importance of human elements in implementing strategies, the need for agility in a rapidly changing environment, and the role of consultants in guiding organisations through transformation. The conversation emphasises that while AI can enhance processes, the core of successful change lies in engaging people and fostering a culture of collaboration and understanding.Key insights from this conversation:• Why AI is an adjunct to consulting, not a replacement• The true bottleneck in strategy: embedding and implementation• Why strategy must be treated as an ongoing, adaptive process• How cultural context and human responses shape outcomes• Why autonomy, mastery, and purpose matter more than ever• The importance of involving people at all levels in designing strategy• What a symbiotic future for AI and human consultants looks likeFor SME leaders, consultants, and transformation professionals who want to:• Integrate AI into strategic and change management work• Build agile, people-centred change strategies• Avoid common pitfalls in strategy execution• Strengthen organisational culture while embracing new technologiesFurther learning and development:People, Change Management & Leadership Framework Coursehttps://sixsess.org/training/people-change-management-leadership-framework-course/Sound Bites"Strategy is an everyday thing.""The computer says no response.""AI can help us manage complexity."Useful Links:The Sixsess Consultancy: https://sixsess.org/about-us/Arkaro Consulting (Mark Blackwell): https://arkaro.comHilary Scarlett's: Neuroscience for Organisational Change:https://www.koganpage.com/hr-learning-development/neuroscience-for-organizational-change-9781398621282Julie Hodges: People-Centric Organizational Change:https://www.koganpage.com/hr-learning-development/people-centric-organizational-change-9781398612556Managing and Leading People Through Organisational Change:https://www.koganpage.com/hr-learning-development/managing-and-leading-people-through-organizational-change-9781398621480Barry, Hilary & Julie's Podcast How Great Organisations Master Change:https://youtu.be/aDKgp2mk164Chapters 00:00 Introduction to AI and Consulting 03:27 The Role of AI in Strategy Development 06:14 The Human Element in Strategy Execution 09:19 Balancing AI and Human Intelligence 11:56 Understanding Change Management 15:07 The SCARF and SPACES Models 18:32 The Importance of Team Involvement in Strategy 22:24 The Future of AI in Consulting 25:47 Conclusion: Agility, Implementation, and PeopleKeywordsAI, consulting, strategy, change management, human elements, neuroscience, organisational change, implementation, agility, transformation, the future of consulting, will AI kill consulting, AI and consultingI hope you really enjoyed our podcast and found it to be inspiring and insightful.Please remember to LIKE our podcast and please DO SUBSCRIBE !!I really look forward to reading and replying to your thoughts and comments.Many thanksKindest regardsBarry

How Great Organisations Master Change - With Julie Hodges & Hilary Scarlett
What do successful organisations do differently when facing change?In this high-impact episode of Just Great People, Barry Eustance speaks with two of the UK’s leading authorities on organisational change - Professor Julie Hodges (Durham University) and workplace neuroscience expert Hilary Scarlett. Together, they dismantle the common myths of change management and expose why so many transformation efforts fall flat. The real problem?
