AI Leadership with Mike Potter & Simon Walker

We’re pleased to share the first discussion from our AI Summit, a conversation on AI leadership featuring Simon Walker and Mike Potter, former Chief Digital Officer for the UK Government.

As organisations move beyond experimentation, the challenge is no longer whether to explore AI, but how to embed it meaningfully into the way work actually happens. In this session, Simon and Mike explore the growing gap between AI pilots and operational transformation and why the real challenge is not the technology itself, but leadership, culture and organisational readiness.

Moving beyond hype and theory, the discussion focuses on the realities of scaling AI across complex organisations, from operating models and workforce adaptation to the changing relationship between humans and AI systems.
