Better Directors Series

Digital transformation is no longer a strategic aspiration it is the operating reality for every board. AI now sits at the centre of that transformation, accelerating innovation, reshaping business models, and challenging leaders to think and act differently. Boards and executives therefore need a clear, grounded understanding of AI: what’s hype, what’s real, and where the true value lies.

But beyond the headlines and the technology, AI demands brave and confident leadership. It requires directors to step into unfamiliar territory, make informed decisions despite uncertainty, and set the tone for responsible adoption across their organisations. AI will shape not only how companies operate, but how people work, collaborate, and feel about their place in a changing landscape.

As AI becomes woven into every part of digital transformation, leadership responsibilities evolve. Directors must balance innovation with responsibility, agility with oversight, and opportunity with safeguarding. Confidence and sometimes courage is essential: confidence to embrace new possibilities, bravery to challenge assumptions, and boldness to lead decisively in the face of ambiguity.

This session will cut through the noise, separating hype from reality and demystifying AI so directors can lead with assurance. Through discussion and experienced insight, you will leave equipped with a greater understanding of AI, and how to use it as a catalyst for meaningful, confident transformation for your organisation.

We are delighted to welcome guest speakers Dr Erin Young (Head of Innovation and Technology Policy, Institute of Directors ) and David Moloney (Head of Growth, Satalia)
