Trusted by organisations transforming the way they work.

A private executive dinner exploring one of the most important questions facing organisations today: how do you turn AI investment into sustainable business value?

83.2% of organisations have invested in AI over the past year. Yet only 26.8% say it is embedded into day-to-day operations. What happens in the space between investment and impact?

The discussion will be informed by a new research study commissioned by Zenzero, exploring the relationship between AI investment, adoption, governance and business value. While the findings suggest investment is widespread, they also raise important questions around workforce enablement, governance and measurable impact. For organisations operating in highly regulated environments, those questions carry additional complexity.

This is a peer discussion designed to test assumptions, explore different viewpoints and examine what the findings mean in the context of real organisations. Alongside fellow decision-makers, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss both the opportunities and risks emerging from the research, with contributions from independent chairs and Zenzero’s data, AI and Microsoft technology experts.
