Efficiency that sticks - Featuring Doug McIntyre, Efficiency Lead at Sharesies
AI is already inside your organisation.
The question is not whether you are using it. It is whether you are getting real value from it.
Most teams now have access to AI tools.
A small group is moving fast.
Others don’t realise they are being left behind.
Many AI initiatives fail to deliver meaningful results. Not because of the technology, but because capability, confidence, and leadership haven’t kept pace.
Some professionals are becoming significantly more effective. Others are unsure where to start, or are using AI at a surface level without real impact.
Expected to lift performance, build capability, and guide change - often without a clear playbook.
This session is designed for leaders and professionals who want to step up, invest in their development, and future-proof their organisation, their team, and themselves in the changing landscape of AI.
Doug works directly on improving operational efficiency at Sharesies, using AI to optimise workflows, reduce manual effort, and identify where real gains are being made.
Together, we’ll explore what is actually working, where things are getting stuck, and what it takes to build capability without creating overwhelm or losing your people along the way.
We will explore:
• The widening gap between high-leverage users and everyone else
• Where AI is delivering real efficiency gains, and how to recognise it
• How leaders build capability without losing trust or momentum
• How professionals stay relevant as expectations shift
You will walk away with:
• A clearer view of where you stand right now
• Practical ways to increase your own or your team’s effectiveness
• Better understanding of what is actually working inside organisations
• Perspective on how to stay relevant and ahead in the AI shift
This session is designed for those who are motivated to grow, develop, and invest in staying ahead - not just observe what is happening.
Numbers are limited to keep the conversation practical and useful.
