AI Implementation to Organisational Value: breakfast, Friday 20 November

Hunter Manning

Two questions for leaders in tech, mining, legal and finance: what problem should AI solve, and how do we measure what it returns?

AI is either becoming a commercial return or a very expensive distraction. Knowing where the value will come from is half of it. The other half is the people directing it.

Two speakers will give two views on the same question:

Adam Scott, Founder of Scale Sustain, on organisational strategy: where AI should be used and how to judge its return.

Sam Richard, former Head of Strategy at TSA Group, on the people decisions. Sam led strategy and business transformation and saw first-hand what works with AI and what doesn't. A Chartered Accountant who has consulted to ASX 200 companies and government, he'll explain why AI's output depends on the judgement of the people directing it, and why time saved only becomes value if you know what your people do with it.

The session suits CTOs, CIOs, CFOs and any leader being asked "what are we actually getting for this?"
