Boards are no longer debating whether to use AI in decision-making, but how to trust, govern, and integrate it effectively.

 

As AI agents move from dashboards to decision influence, leadership teams face a new strategic reality:

• Algorithms can detect patterns at scale.
• Data platforms deliver real-time foresight.
• AI agents can recommend, simulate, and optimise.
  

But strategy is still shaped by judgment, risk appetite, ethics, and long-term vision.

 

The competitive edge no longer lies in “more data.” It lies in mastering the hybrid decision model, where human intuition, governance, and AI intelligence work in structured collaboration.

 

Today, we are joined by leaders from very different industries, global retail and franchise ecosystems, financial market infrastructure, and AI-driven sustainable procurement.

• From IKEA, operating across 500+ franchise organisations and rethinking technology foundations for scale…
• From the London Stock Exchange Group, where data architecture and AI decisions carry systemic financial risk…
• And from Unibloom, where AI agents are already shaping operational and ESG decisions in real time.

Different sectors. Different risk profiles. Different operating models.
