Dr. Inshan Meahjohn | AI Governance, Cybersecurity & Digital Transformation

By Dr. Inshan Meahjohn | CEO, Digital Alliance Global (DAG) Group Inc. Every organisation I advise asks the same question about AI: "How do we adopt it safely?" The better question, and the one most are not asking, is: "How much AI adoption has already happened without our knowledge?" The answer, based on recent data, is a lot. LayerX's 2025 Enterprise AI & SaaS Data Security Report found that 77% of employees paste company data into generative AI prompts. Eighty-two percent of those interactions happen through unmanaged personal accounts. IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, conducted by the Ponemon Institute across 600 organisations, found that 63% have no AI governance policies in place. This is what I call shadow AI. And after years of working in digital transformation and institutional governance, I believe it is the most underestimated risk facing organisations today. Why I frame this as a control problem Most conversations about AI risk focus ...

"Sometimes the light is hidden in plain sight,  blocked out by our egos.  Wisdom bids us to move out of our own way in order to perform the sacred right, to shine our light upon the waters of the earth.

My wish is that the world be allowed to see your true and magnificent soul, untethered from the darkness of the ego." © Inshan Meahjohn 2017

You can change the nature of the 'blocks' and as you become the co-director of your future, you can use them instead as building 'blocks'.  Is it not interesting that the word 'block' is the same word with two immensely different meanings? Stumbling 'blocks' sometimes make you think you are you are in a weak state but building blocks puts you a stronger state of mind.  Then once you take control of the definition it then becomes your responsibility to show others how to use their 'blocks' to help others step up and build their future.'  © Inshan Meahjohn 2012

Many times in our lives we are faced with significant challenges, and I fully understand how difficult and tough that is. In my work with hundreds of clients, friends and family, I have found that the person who is going through the difficulty is also the person with most power in the situation, even though they may not be aware of it. One reason I say this, is because they have the power to process feelings and to choose which feelings they wish to focus on, that is, they do not have much power over others, their words and deeds, but they have full and complete power over themselves.  I understand how difficult loss, sadness, pain and suffering is, and I wish that today you find a solid support group, get professional help if you need it, take up a hobby that inspires you, do something new, help someone else and be their heroine/hero. It takes a split second to make a decision that can change your life for the better, and today is your day for ...
