Peak Performance & AI - August Meetup

From Chaos to Control: Driving Peak Business Performance Through AI Governance

This month centres on the critical evolution from AI experimentation to bulletproof execution: bridging the gap between raw AI capabilities and trustworthy business integration. As organisations shift from AI experimentation to execution, the core challenge is building trust. Yet, when governance belongs to "everyone and no one" critical operational risks slip through the cracks. Proving that the true peak performance of AI lies not in its unrestricted freedom, but in its strategic, reliable governance

We are excited to be hosted by the team at The Project Management Training School for an evening of deep insights.

Session 1: The Missing Layer of AI Governance: Governing How AI Thinks

Speaker: Nik Nigro, The Thought Factory

About the talk: The session aims to translate heavy governance concepts into actionable insights for non-technical business professionals, focusing on system reliability and mitigating common AI hallucinations.

Session 2: Who Owns the Algorithm? Building AI Governance That Spans the Whole Organisation

Speaker: Dr Faiz Rasool is the Chief Executive Officer of the Global AI Certification Council

About the talk: When AI governance belongs to "everyone and no one," critical operational risks slip through the cracks. Moving beyond static policy PDFs, how do we build distributed accountability and keep humans firmly in control?

In addition to the talk, we’re chatting about:

• Automating the Boring Stuff: How to offload your "to-do" list to AI.
• Your AI Second Brain: Using tech to think faster and stay organised.
• Tool Swap: Show and tell your favourite apps and workflows.

No ego, no experience required. This is a space for us to learn from one another. We’ll have a short talk to kick things off, but the night belongs to the community.

Special thanks to PM Training School for hosting this event, and thanks to for sponsoring the refreshments.
