Strategic AI: Bringing AI into client strategy and growth
Our clients are engaging with AI, but we should be enabling them to use it strategically and this is more than just the latest chatbot or LLM implementation. This is about us leading Clients in to the new era using AI tools and systems to enable faster growth and outstrip the competition. CIOs and CTOs need to be experts in AI, both technically, strategically and culturally. Our March 2026 summit will bring some amazing speakers together to help you do just that. In turn this develops the opportunity for greater depth of engagement with your clients which should in turn drive longevity.
MARCH 2026 KEYNOTES & SPEAKERS
How AI changes what leadership looks like – and why it starts with us
Marco Ryan, Technology and Leadership Correspondent and Cyber Leader (European Magazine and Lancaster University Management School).
A ‘Call to arms’ that uses stories and research from Marco’s book The AI-Powered Leader: How Technology Transforms the Role of Today’s CIO, to help CIOs and CTOs leverage the AI advantage, and bring more impact and strategic value creation to clients. This is really about encouraging and enabling the C-suite to see the CIO/CTO role as a value accelerator and will explore how AI can be used to augment, reinforce and drive this. Marco will deliver examples, stories, and tools to help CIOs/CTOs ‘rewire’ their own role and future – to leverage deep technical knowledge and move out of the shadow of ‘cost down’ IT partners, and to become key influencers in the C-suite. Marco will reference some of the research from the book and introduce the tools available.
