AI is transforming organisations at speed — but how do we move from scattered experiments to real business value?  Join us on 19th November for an exclusive debate exploring the realities of AI-driven business transformation.

AI is no longer a question of ‘if’ but ‘how’.  The challenge for Executives is navigating rapid change when the landscape is uncertain, peers are at different stages of adoption, and the implications stretch beyond technology into strategy, structure, and culture.  What can make the difference is stepping back, sharing experiences with fellow leaders, and engaging with the latest evidence on what truly drives value.

Join us for an exclusive Executive Dinner-Debate on Wednesday 19th November at The Ivy Granary Square Brasserie where we will bring together leaders to explore the realities of AI-driven transformation.

We will be joined by Brian Wates, Chief Operating Officer of Amber River, who will share his perspective on keeping people at the centre of business transformation.  With more than 30 years of experience tackling strategic operational challenges — including implementing robotic process automation to enhance customer service in financial services — Brian brings deep practical insight into what works, and what doesn’t.

Alongside this, OE Cam Partner, Gary Ashton and Jodie Hughes will share highlights from our new pan-European whitepaper, “Bringing Order into Your AI Journey”.  Drawing on 50+ interviews with senior executives, the paper introduces a framework to help organisations transform AI experimentation into sustained business value.

Discussion will focus on three urgent leadership questions:

• Redesigning organisations in the age of AI: How evolving roles, new team structures, and autonomous agents are reshaping the design of work
• Critical leadership capabilities: Why there is a shift from technical know-how to deeper critical thinking and broader human and relational skills — and how to build them.
• The Executive team’s role in AI transformation: How to craft a clear approach towards AI that articulates its benefits and fosters an ethical, human-centred approach to change.

This is a rare opportunity to engage in candid, peer-level debate about the strategic, structural, and cultural implications of AI — and what it will take to lead confidently in this new era.
