About this event

AI is evolving quickly, but not every organisation needs to make the same journey. Some businesses are still building their foundations in data and analytics, while others are experimenting with Generative AI, automation and increasingly agentic systems. So how do you know where your organisation sits and, more importantly, where it should go next?

In this practical session, I'll use an AI and analytics maturity framework to explore the different paths organisations can take, the investment and capability each requires, and how to decide whether to buy, build or use what you already have. The session will focus on making deliberate AI investments that create real business value without simply chasing the latest technology.
 

Key takeaways

  • Understand where your organisation sits on the AI and analytics maturity curve and why greater maturity isn't always the right goal.
  • Identify the next practical step based on business value, capability, cost and risk.
  • Understand the trade-offs between using existing AI tools, buying solutions, engaging external expertise and building AI capability in-house.
  • Recognise where traditional analytics and machine learning may still be a better choice than Generative AI or agentic solutions.
  • Make AI investments that preserve flexibility as the technology continues to evolve.
