Leading Through Change: When AI Moves Faster Than the Enterprise
Join us for an invite-only panel on where large, complex organisations should invest in AI and how to turn that investment into enterprise value.
AI is advancing faster than enterprise budgets, operating models and governance can adjust. Leaders must choose before the path—or the return—is clear.
Australian leaders putting AI to work inside complex organisations will join Airtree and Sam Senior, an Australian founder building Monarch in San Francisco. Together, they’ll discuss how to test the latest AI advances against enterprise reality: what is delivering measurable results, what is not, and why.
The discussion will also draw on Monarch’s newly published results on a benchmark of ~600 enterprise workflows, where every model tested completed more work with Monarch, including 23% more workflows with Opus 5.
The conversation will cover:
Which AI capabilities deserve investment now and which can wait
What turns a promising pilot into measurable operational value
How to move faster without losing budget discipline, trust, resilience or control
This invite-only event is for CIOs, CTOs, transformation leaders and senior operators responsible for putting AI to work inside complex organisations.
