Sessions · the why

Why talk to us about AI and the opportunities in your transformation

Your transformation is built to bring you to best practice, while AI moves the frontier above it. Below, the case in three points, then three 30-minute sessions on what it means for the board, for audit and for your programme.

The case in three points

Every session starts here, then turns to what it means for your role.

1

Best practice brings you to parity

Your transformation adopts standard processes that every competitor can buy. It closes the gap to today’s leaders. On its own, it does not take you past them.

2

AI is moving the frontier

Early adopters are pulling away, and the distance between leaders and everyone else is growing. Large firms are already three times as likely to use AI as small ones.

3

Your programme already finds the opportunities

Process workshops, data migration and role design surface ideas, weaknesses and evidence. Without a way to value, rank and keep them, they leave with the programme team.

Choose your session

Three 30-minute sessions, one for each group that answers for the value of a transformation.

For board members and executive teams

Executive advisory session

The board approved the investment, and the board will be asked what it returned. This session looks at the programme as a source of advantage as well as a cost.

We cover

  • Where AI is moving the frontier in your market
  • Which opportunities matter to your strategy, ranked against cost, revenue, AI readiness, risk and speed to value
  • The questions the board should put to its programme

You leave with a view of where your opportunities sit and what to ask next.

For internal audit, audit committees and the CFO office

Audit compliance session

A new system changes many of the controls the board relies on. From 2026, UK listed boards must also declare whether their material controls are effective.

We cover

  • Did we get the return we approved?
  • Are our material controls effective in the new system?
  • Which programme evidence internal audit can rely on, and when

You leave with the audit points across the programme and the evidence to expect at each.

For sponsors, programme directors and team leads

Programme benefits session

Benefits are promised in the business case and delivered by the teams. This session connects the two, across PMO, functional and technical workstreams.

We cover

  • Which benefits your programme produces, in which phase, and who owns them
  • What the programme already produces for AI readiness
  • Where value is leaking today

You leave with a first benefits view for your programme.
