The technology is the easy part. The change is the work.

Agents cannot fix broken processes, they expose them. That is the current reality of AI transformation. The technology is the easy part, it is the change required around it that will really create a pathway to a genuine return.

So how do we establish the right path forward? How can we move from an "AI on" mindset, where we are simply using AI for the fix, to an "AI in" strategy, where you are really driving transformation, creating financial impact, and having the technology work autonomously.

These are some of the themes we are looking to explore at our forthcoming executive roundtable alongside Avanade and Microsoft. Join a group of your executive peers as we look at ways to really utilise AI to create things for our business we have never done before, and discuss how to ensure this change is adopted at scale.

Four threads we are looking to pull on.

01

Agents in practice

A look at some of the pathways in which agents are being implemented, and a frank conversation about the challenges that this process is exposing across teams, data, and existing workflows.

02

The new bottleneck: context

Responding to the new business bottleneck. Establishing the right data, workflows and segmentations to drive real value out of agent processes, rather than another set of disconnected pilots.

03

"AI on" vs "AI in"

Exploring how to transition your AI projects from the fix to the solution. Where you stop bolting AI onto a process and start designing the process around what AI can now do autonomously.

04

What good looks like

A look at global and local use-cases where entire domains have been transformed and scaled through the application of the right process with the right agent. The patterns worth borrowing.

Lunch at Wildflower.

Wildflower

COMO The Treasury, Perth

Wildflower sits on the rooftop of COMO The Treasury, in the heritage State Buildings on St Georges Terrace. The kitchen works to a Noongar six-season calendar, with a menu built around native Australian produce and the best of Western Australian fishing and farming.

Glass walls run the length of the room with views across the city to the Swan River. It is one of the quieter, more considered rooms in Perth for an executive lunch, which is why we have chosen it.

Three courses, served throughout. Arrival from 11:45 AM. Smart business.
