Some key themes from the past lunch:

Strategy first, tech second - Innovation isn’t just about adopting new tools but a clear strategy is key from day one.

Innovation culture matters - Without the right environment, even the best ideas struggle to take off.

Agentic AI is coming - Business leaders must start exploring and understanding it now before it's too late.

A champion is crucial - Innovation needs ownership within the business to drive progress and adoption.

You’re already ahead - Engaging in these conversations puts you firmly on the curve. You're not too late, but the time is now.

The workforce impact is real - Data engineers are / will be vital in the future, while junior roles may suffer - this is something we all need to be mindful of.

Sense-makers are crucial - Having someone to drive and interpret AI discovery and shaping a strategy is key - consider a fractional role if needed.

OKRs (or equivalent) keep innovation on track - A structured approach ensures progress and allows for continual reflection.

Disruption is happening - The businesses that adapt now will be the ones that thrive. Don't sit on your hands.

Looking ahead, discussions like these aren’t just theoretical. They are actively shaping how businesses and leaders adapt, compete, and progress in a fast-changing world.

The ones who embrace AI and innovation today will be the ones defining the future.

If you're a C-suite leader or director who’s ambitious and forward-thinking, we’d love to welcome them to the next event...
