Congratulations, Patrick!

It is an honor to win the Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce 2026 Business Person of the year award! Like I said in my acceptance speech, it’s really an award for all Business folks, leaders and owners that help make our city a beautiful place to live, contribute, and grow!

I’m grateful for all the individuals and organizations that have encouraged and mentored me in business, and, given me an opportunity to serve. I would need an entire book to list every one of you.

Most importantly, I’m thankful for my boss at work and home - for her love, leadership, and partnership- Cynthia Egbunonu, PMP®

I’m thankful for the team at Informanos Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Inc. We are dedicated to building and implementing Analytics and AI solutions that help the coaches and organizations we serve grow and succeed.

Our AI powered feedback platform helps organizations know what their employees are thinking, and use the insights generated to help their leaders grow. We also build custom Analytics and AI solutions for organizations, in addition to our global AI training programs.

Also grateful for the opportunity to work with the great team at 1MT Technical & Leadership Institute . I am excited about our vision to support the development of future technical leaders in Africa!

Finally, I’m inspired by all the work that several organizations do to support economic and business growth in our city - Kingston Economic Development Corporation , Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce , KEYS Employment & Newcomer Services , and so many others. Thank you!

I came to Canada - Kingston, Ontario, to be specific - in 2003, in my mid-twenties, with less than $200 to my name, one suitcase, and no family to support me. All I had was a scholarship from Queen’s University to pursue a master’s degree in chemical engineering. I remain very grateful to everyone who has supported my growth and success over the past 23 years. I also want to thank Dr. Martin Guay for his decision to take on this kid from Africa as his student 23 years ago, and Dr. Veronica Adetola and her family for welcoming me into their home when I first arrived in Canada.

A new HBR study warns leaders against treating AI agents like employees. When organizations anthropomorphize AI by naming it, putting it on org charts, or calling it a teammate, accountability drops, review quality declines, escalation increases, and employee trust erodes, without meaningfully improving adoption . The real opportunity is not symbolic framing, but deliberate workflow redesign that clarifies human accountability, redefines roles, strengthens governance, and builds capability for effective human and AI collaboration.

At Informanos, this is exactly where we focus, helping organizations move beyond hype to structured AI operating models, clear accountability frameworks, and agent-enabled workflows that expand human judgment rather than dilute it. AI should not replace ownership. It should elevate it.

As organizations experiment with placing AI agents on org charts as “employees,” new research shows this framing has unintended consequences. In a large-scale experiment, anthropomorphizing AI reduced individual accountability, increased unnecessary escalation, lowered review quality, and height...

A recent HBR piece highlights that the teams outperforming in rapid change aren’t the most talented; they’re the ones that learn the fastest, driven by experimentation, psychological safety, real-time feedback, curiosity, and purpose-driven leadership .

The research across 6,000+ professionals shows that “superteams” improve continuously by running more experiments, surfacing blockers early, rolling up their sleeves, and making growth a daily discipline, not an annual initiative .

At Informanos, we see the same pattern in AI adoption: technology alone doesn’t create advantage, learning velocity does. We help organizations build AI-enabled operating models that institutionalize experimentation, feedback loops, and safe deployment. In an AI-driven economy, the superpower isn’t having AI, it’s building teams that get better with it, every week.

In periods of rapid change, the teams that outperform everyone else are not those with the best plans or the most talent but those that learn the fastest. Research across thousands of teams reveals a consistent pattern: High-performing teams—“superteams”—build cultures of continuous improvem...

A great reminder from The Economist: workplace performance is driven by more than compensation and job titles. Status, recognition, and perceived influence shape how people collaborate, compete, grow, and lead. The hidden dynamics inside an organization often explain more than the org chart does. At Informanos, we help organizations uncover those hidden patterns with AI and analytics so leaders can make better decisions about teams, culture, and performance.

How status shapes motivation, conflict and career choices

The future of coaching isn’t about choosing between human insight and technology. It’s about combining deep listening with intelligent analysis.

As organizational coaches, we spend a lot of time helping leaders reflect, recalibrate, and grow. We ask powerful questions, surface blind spots, and guide behavior change.

One thing became very clear in our conversations with executives and teams: leaders are no longer looking for AI ideas alone—they’re looking for practical, responsible ways to use AI to lead better, decide smarter, and build resilient organizations.

As we come to the close of 2025, I want to take a moment—on behalf of the entire Informanos team—to say thank you. Thank you for your trust.

Too many organizations treat 360-degree feedback as a box-ticking exercise: send the survey, share the report, and move on. This HBR article argues that when done right, 360s can be a powerful engine for leadership growth and business results.

Effective 360s:
- Involve leaders in choosing raters and personally inviting honest feedback
-Include a facilitated debrief (not just a PDF in an inbox)
-Provide clear, competency-based development suggestions
-Build in follow-up and accountability

The payoff? Leaders gain real self-awareness, finally “hear” messages they’ve been ignoring, change their behaviour, and improve engagement, retention, and performance across the organization. And when the top team goes first, it creates an updraft that lifts leadership quality at every level.

Companies have continued to use the 360-degree process throughout the years because it works. But for it to be worthwhile, the process has to be implemented in a way that engages leaders so they are compelled and motivated to become better at their job. When they learn through the feedback whether o...
