AI transformation and operating models. Twenty years running operational transformations across FMCG, life science and soft commodities.
LinkedInBring the case you can't discuss on stage.
An in-person roundtable for leaders who run AI-driven transformation. Each session opens with one use case from someone who built, ran or supplied it, numbers included. The remaining hour belongs to the table.
The session
Twenty minutes of one person's numbers. An hour of everyone else's.
The use case
One speaker, one transformation, the real figures. No product pitch and no theory deck - if there are no numbers, it is not a keynote.
The table
The moderator opens it up and every seat speaks: questions, counter-examples, and what you would change when you are back at your desk on Monday.
Cycle IProgramme
Four sessions, one question each.
Cycle I is about AI-driven transformation. A seat is confirmed for the whole cycle, so the same people meet four times and pick up where they left off.
From pilots to operating model
Why AI initiatives stall at the handover to the line, and what the organisations that got past it changed first.
The talent equation
What AI changes about the roles you hire, keep and rebuild.
Governance that enables
Autonomy, oversight, and where the human gate belongs.
Making it stick
Benefit realisation after the programme team has moved on.
Ran something worth twenty minutes? We are booking keynotes for later sessions - practitioners, researchers and vendors, provided it is a real deployment with real numbers.
Propose a use caseBetween sessions
Some of it does not fit in ninety minutes.
So the group also meets in between, in smaller formats.
Workshops
Small groups and real tools, working on what the last table surfaced.
Site visits and retreats
Inside a member's operation, or away from your own for long enough to think.
Demos
The keynote's numbers, shown running.
Who sits here
Supply chain next to cybersecurity. Finance next to the lab.
Seats are held across eleven functions, plus the researchers who study what AI actually does to organisations. Practitioners bring the operating reality, researchers bring the evidence, and the table tests one against the other.
The one rule
Use what you hear. Never say who said it, or where they work.
The Chatham House Rule covers everything said in the room. No recordings, no photos of the discussion, no screenshots, no forwarding. It is the reason people bring the real version of the story.
Before you ask
- Who is behind this?
- Practitioners who run transformations for a living, with institutional partners behind the format. Their names are below.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing for the sessions. Seats are by invitation and hosted by the organisers. If a retreat ever carries a cost, you hear about it before you commit.
- Is it recorded?
- No. No recordings, no photos of the discussion, no attributed notes.
- Will I be sold to?
- No. Vendors speak when they bring a real deployment with real numbers. A pitch gets stopped by the moderator.
