Making Time for AI: What’s Actually Working- An OTL Roundtable
Are you being asked to find AI wins when your diary is already full?
Most organisations have invested in AI tools, but far fewer are making time for people to use them well. Teams are juggling business as usual, constant updates and news of restructures elsewhere, and AI keeps sliding down the priority list.
At our last roundtable, one question really stuck with us:
“How are you actually making the time and space to do this?”
We didn’t get to answer it properly, so this time it’s the focus of our conversation.
We want to hear how leaders are making room for AI in practice, including where they’re focusing effort, how they’re protecting their team’s capacity and how they’re keeping themselves going when the pace of change is relentless.
☕ Over breakfast, we’ll discuss:
🗓 Where the time for AI is really coming from in your team
⚡ How you’re keeping pace with constant updates without chasing every new tool
🔋 How you’re managing the fatigue that comes with nonstop change
🔁 What other functions are doing that you could borrow
We’re inviting leaders from across the business to join us. This affects every function, and hearing how other teams approach it is often where the most useful ideas come from.
OverTime Leader will share some of the patterns we’re seeing in our work with leaders and teams. The group will bring their own experiences of what’s working and what isn’t.
This is for you if:
🔹 You’re accountable for AI delivering results, but your team has little capacity to spare
🔹 You know AI needs more of your time, but your calendar says otherwise
🔹 You’re seeing people struggle to keep up with the pace of change
🔹 You know that making time for AI is as much a leadership challenge as a practical one
🔹 You’d like to hear what other leaders are actually doing, not just the polished version
🔹 You’ve bookmarked more AI articles than you’ve had time to read!
What you’ll leave with:
💡 Ideas to test with your own team, and a clearer sense of how your approach compares with other functions
🔍 Insight into the patterns OTL is seeing across its work with leaders and teams
✅ A concrete action to try with your team, which we’ll help you shape
👥 Connections with peers who are dealing with the same pressures
This will be a small group, held under the Chatham House Rule so everyone can speak openly.
