After you've set up your AI essentials, where do you go next?

As a business leader, there’s only so much time you can dedicate to pushing your AI agenda forward so, whatever you do next, you want to make sure it’s going to be effective. Not just technically - you have to guarantee any AI development drives your business strategy, helps your team or improves your client experience - and is commercially successful.

One of the best ways to do this is to talk to other leaders who are making similar moves to you.

AI Pathfinders brings together leaders who are already absorbed, fascinated, and increasingly obsessed with AI for their business.

---

At this session up-to-ten leaders, exclusively from non-competing service businesses (digital, creative, SaaS, professions, etc.), get to talk candidly about what they’re actually doing with AI: what’s working, what isn’t, the approach, and where the value and returns really lie. The conversation will be led by an experienced facilitator and an AI expert.

Every participant will get to share their latest AI developments, challenge assumptions, find inspiration – and, importantly, be held to account by the group on the progress of their next AI implementation, the following month.

The session will also feature the AI expert exploring a cutting-edge opportunity for everyone to examine, discuss and push their thinking forward.

---

This group is designed for leaders who are not technical specialists but understand the subject well enough to have real opinions – and are more interested in how AI can progress their business than in the technology for its own sake.

This is not a room for tyre kickers! If you’re still deciding whether AI matters, this is not the place for you**. If you are already in it and want to move faster, with better judgement, it is.

Ten leaders. Straight talking. No pitches.
