What to Keep, What to Leave Behind: An evening with Barry O'Reilly and Martin Eriksson on leadership and strategy in the AI era.
AI isn't failing because of your technology. It's failing because of how your organisation is set up to decide, operate, and compete. Most leadership teams are still running the old playbook — more tools, more pilots, more noise — and wondering why none of it is adding up to impact.
There's no shortage of people lining up to tell you how to "do AI." This isn't one of those evenings. It's a chance to step back, think about what AI actually means for you and your organisation, and test those ideas against other leaders wrestling with the same questions.
We're getting a curated room of C-suite leaders together at Canva's space in the heart of Shoreditch to start that conversation. Two lenses, one evening:
Barry O'Reilly, author of Artificial Organizations, on redesigning how leaders think, decide, and act when humans and AI work as one system.
Martin Eriksson, author of The Decision Stack, on why AI has exposed a strategic clarity problem in most organisations — and how to fix it so your whole company can move together.
Then we open it up. A panel tackling your questions, moderated by Emily Tate, VP Product at IVC Evidensia and former Managing Director at Mind the Product, and the rest of the evening over drinks and food to carry on the conversation with peers wrestling with the same problems.
Space is tight and the room will fill up fast. Grab a spot before it's gone.
Bonus: get there early and you'll get free copies of Artificial Organizations and The Decision Stack.
