Description

WEBINAR | CPD 3 | MEMBERS - FREE | NON-MEMBERS $50+GST

Join us as we explore how AI is reshaping how organisations operate, compete, and lead. 

Our panel will share practical insights and real-world examples from across Aotearoa, covering everything from Copilot rollouts to predictive modelling. You’ll come away with fresh ideas and a clearer view of what good adoption looks like, how to build internal capability, and what clients are asking for.

We’ll explore five key areas:

  • Why AI Matters to Boards and Executives – Productivity and relevance as key drivers.
  • Adoption vs. Usage – Moving beyond experimentation to real value.
  • Building an AI Roadmap – Leadership enablement, rollout strategies, and community building.
  • Responsible AI and Policy Foundations – What good policy looks like and how to inform staff.
  • Use Cases, Risks, and Client Expectations – FAQs, prioritisation, and practical examples.

 

This session is designed for board members and senior executives who want to better understand how to unlock AI’s potential in a way that’s both strategic and responsible.
