About This Event

The Leading AI programme will take place at W-ZERO 1 in Aberdeen on 2026-10-21 to assist SME leaders with investment and governance decisions. The session involves various speakers discussing strategy, policy, and implementation.

This programme is designed for SME leaders who want to make confident decisions about AI investment, governance and implementation.

Join this in person masterclass on AI strategy, governance and policy. Move beyond experimentation. Deliver lasting business growth.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already transforming the way people work. Across many organisations, employees are using AI tools to improve productivity, accelerate decision-making and unlock new opportunities. Yet while AI adoption is happening rapidly at an individual level, many businesses haven't yet established the governance, policies and strategic direction needed to maximise value while managing risk.

The challenge now is moving beyond single use cases and pilots to create a clear strategy that delivers measurable business value at scale.

This intensive, full-day in-person masterclass is designed for a small to medium sized enterprise (SME) leaders who want to make confident decisions about AI investment, governance and implementation. Through expert guidance, practical frameworks and peer learning, you'll develop a clear understanding of how AI can support your organisation's growth ambitions while ensuring responsible, secure and compliant adoption.

Led by experienced practitioners in AI strategy, governance and business transformation, the session focuses on leadership, decision-making and execution rather than technical complexity. You'll explore how to establish effective AI governance, develop practical policies, and build the organisational foundations needed to support sustainable AI adoption.

Throughout the day, you'll work on your own business challenges and opportunities, developing practical outputs that can be taken back into your organisation and applied immediately.

Who should attend?

This masterclass is aimed at:

Business leaders and senior decision-makers

Functional leads in digital, operations, innovation, technology and HR

Organisations already exploring AI and looking to move towards implementation and scale

Businesses seeking greater clarity on AI investment priorities, governance and organisational readiness

By the end of the programme, you'll have:

A draft AI strategy aligned to business growth objectives

A prioritised set of high-value AI opportunities

An outline AI governance and policy framework

A strategy-on-a-page linking ambition, governance and delivery

A practical 90-day action plan

The opportunity to receive expert one-to-one support to help progress implementation

Continued Expert Support

The learning doesn't stop when the masterclass ends.

Following the session, you'll have the opportunity to access a dedicated online advisory surgery with an AI expert, providing personalised support to help refine and progress the strategy and action plan developed during the masterclass.

These focused two-hour one-to-one sessions will help you explore implementation challenges, test ideas, strengthen governance approaches and take the next steps towards delivering business value from AI.

Why attend?

AI adoption is not simply a technology challenge. Successful organisations recognise that scaling AI requires strategic leadership, effective governance, clear decision-making and organisational readiness.

This masterclass will help you answer one of the most important questions facing business leaders today – "How do we design, implement and govern AI so it delivers real business value safely and effectively across our organisation?"
