About the session

Themes: Systems thinking | Disruption | Transformation

When enterprise AI hype collides with organisational reality, the hardest lessons aren't about models - they’re about systems, humans, and flow. Over a year into a massive AI transformation, this keynote is an unvarnished look at what actually broke, what surprised us, and what I wish someone had warned me about on day one.

We’ll explore how AI reshapes team dynamics, delivery bottlenecks, and governance. In closing, we will explore open questions and hopes for the future.
