What Is Your “Purple Wing” in AI?
In this episode of AI Trust Talks, host Emma Johnson is joined by global transformation executive Patrick Strauss for a powerful conversation on one of the most misunderstood topics in artificial intelligence:
Trust cannot be added later.
It must be designed from day one.
Patrick Strauss is an international business leader with over three decades of experience driving large-scale digital and AI transformation across global enterprises. Having led innovation and strategic change within complex organisations, he brings a rare blend of operational depth, governance expertise, and commercial foresight to the AI conversation.
And his message is clear:
In a world obsessed with “move fast and break things,” the real differentiator is responsible speed.
Right now, AI feels like mushrooms popping up everywhere.
New tools. New startups. New promises of overnight millions.
But the real question leaders should be asking is:
What is your Purple Wing?
Patrick introduces the concept of the Purple Wing — the defining differentiator that makes an organisation stand out in a saturated AI market.
If a founder or executive cannot articulate their Purple Wing in one clear, succinct answer, that’s the red flag.
This episode explores:
Why AI trust must be embedded at the design stage
The commercial advantage of governance, ethics, and safety
Why slowing down strategically can future-proof a business
The danger of becoming a “me too” AI company
How leaders can build AI credibility that lasts
Because in hindsight, the companies that look the smartest will not be the fastest.
They will be the ones who built trust properly.
