Most companies racing to deploy AI are asking the wrong question. They want to know what AI can take over. They should be asking what should stay human. Ross Barnes built The Galahad Group to answer that question with a framework, not a hunch. The platform walks into a company, maps existing workflows, and runs them through a proprietary diagnostic called Ikigai that breaks every task into what belongs to humans and what belongs to agents. One CEO handed over his job description and a week of his calendar. An hour later, Galahad had built him a suite of agents that absorbed the meetings he should not have been in and surfaced the work only he could do.

In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Ross Barnes about why he calls his approach cognitive scaffolding, how the four H's (Here, Hunger, Heart, and Hunch) decide what stays human, and the moment his platform caught a large consumer goods client's data leaving the building through staff using personal ChatGPT accounts. Ross also shares how his late-in-life ADHD and autism diagnoses reshaped the operating system of the company, and why he believes digital avatars will be sitting in meetings on our behalf within 18 months.
