Gen AI Masterclass - September Edition
How Organisations Govern, Select and Scale AI
As AI adoption accelerates, organisations face important questions around governance, tool selection, risk management and how to scale AI successfully across teams.
Join us for this AI Navigator Masterclass, where we will explore what effective AI governance looks like in practice. You'll hear from experts working at the forefront of AI adoption, governance and organisational transformation, sharing practical insights on how businesses can move from experimentation to implementation with confidence.
Featured Speakers
Suzanne O'Callaghan, Founder, SOCraigh
Suzanne will explore why an AI policy is not a one-size-fits-all document and why effective governance goes far beyond downloading a template. She will discuss the foundations of responsible AI adoption, including policy development, governance processes, risk considerations and the practical steps organisations should take before introducing AI at scale.
Iyad Altahrawi, Fexco
Iyad will share the large organisation perspective on AI adoption, exploring how businesses evaluate AI tools, create guardrails for experimentation, and manage the journey from initial use cases to organisation-wide deployment. He will provide insights into how different teams collaborate to make AI decisions and how businesses can balance innovation with governance.
Real-World AI Use Cases
We'll also showcase four AI solutions developed through the RDI Hub Grad AI Launchpad, demonstrating how accessible AI tools can be used to solve real business challenges.
These projects address challenges across:
Food & Ingredients Manufacturing
Hotel & Hospitality Operations
Technical Support & Field Services
Sales & Customer Engagement
Attendees will see practical examples of how graduate teams used readily available AI tools to create working solutions, including:
Supporting flavour and product development decisions for food manufacturers
Helping hotels make more informed pricing decisions
Assisting technical engineers in diagnosing faults without access to manuals
Enabling sales teams to access insights and customer information more efficiently
The showcase demonstrates how businesses can move from a challenge statement to a functional AI solution using tools that are already widely available today.
Ideal for SME leaders, managers and teams looking to adopt AI with greater confidence, structure and business impact.
