Building an AI-Enabled Enterprise

From experimentation to operating model change: what it takes to build an AI-enabled enterprise. AI is everywhere, but most organisations are still treating it as a side initiative rather than rethinking how the enterprise actually works with it. In this conversation, we'll step back from the usual focus on tools, pilots, and adoption stories to explore a bigger question: what really needs to change in the operating model if AI is to deliver meaningful value? Together, we’ll explore the House of AI as a framework for thinking about how strategy, governance, team design, and delivery need to evolve together, why isolated AI initiatives often struggle to stick, and how the Better, Value, Sooner, Safer, Happier measures can be used to assess whether change is improving outcomes, not just increasing activity. If you are trying to work out how AI fits into the wider design of the enterprise, this conversation will offer a practical lens for thinking about structure, flow, governance, and value - join us and bring your questions and perspectives. This session is for executives, product, delivery and technology leaders, and transformation practitioners who want to understand how AI is reshaping enterprise operating models, leadership, and performance measurement.
