Join Ross Stevenson for a practical workshop exploring what he has learned about ROI from working with AI inside some of the world’s biggest organisations. 

An expert in AI enablement, Ross helps business leaders to build the fluency to use AI in their work and lead adoption across their organisation. 

Sharing how those lessons can be applied by growing businesses, this interactive workshop will help you cut through the noise and focus on the areas where AI can make a meaningful difference right now.  

Rather than predicting the future or trying to cover every tool or platform, Ross will focus on common business challenges where AI can support better decisions, stronger systems, and more efficient ways of working.  

Benefiting from the lessons larger organisations have learned implementing AI, Ross will not only offer insight into approaches your business can adopt but also help you to think more clearly about where to start, what to prioritise, and how to build the confidence to unlock the power of AI today. 

The Conversation 

During the workshop, Ross will share practical ways your business can drive impact with AI, including: 

  • Creating a centralised company digital brain (knowledge management system). 
  • Improving employee onboarding. 
  • Supporting performance reviews, one-to-ones, and people development. 
  • Strengthening strategy development through better research and analysis. 
  • Reviewing competitors, internal data, and industry trends. 
  • Improving customer support and response quality.
  • Identifying where AI can create a measurable return. 

 

What You’ll Take Away 

Leaving with a clear understanding of where AI can create practical value in your business, this interactive workshop will help you identify relevant use cases, think more carefully about return on investment, and understand how to apply AI in ways that support your people, systems, customers, and decision-making. 

Whether you are confidently experimenting with AI or still trying to work out where it fits, this session will provide a transformative view of what is working, what is overhyped, and where to focus your attention next.
