Agenda

AI investment is accelerating, but for many organisations, value isn’t following. As leaders move beyond pilots, the challenge has shifted from building models to delivering measurable impact at scale. This private session brings together peers like yourself to explore why AI initiatives stall, what leading organisations are doing differently to build trust and scale, and how the role of the data leader is evolving to own value, not just data.

We will cover:
