BIMA and Microsoft Breakfast Briefing | How to Build An AI-Ready Culture

BIMA Breakfast Briefing in partnership with Microsoft: How to Build An AI-Ready Culture

What?

Introducing AI to your business isn’t like introducing a new software system. Its impact can be far more profound and felt across the entire organisation, affecting the ways team interact and the way leaders lead.

If AI is to deliver on its true potential for your organisation, it needs cultural as well as technical change.

Why?

In this Breakfast Briefing, Part of BIMA’s Age of AI series in partnership with Microsoft, an expert panel will help you explore the building blocks of an AI culture, including:

Data freedom: Siloed data shackles AI. So how do you create quality data available to all?

Empowerment: Many of the most profound impacts of AI come from people closest to the business. So how do you encourage greater collaboration?

Leadership & governance: How do you make leadership as nimble as AI requires? And how do you create governance that fosters and rewards this new culture?

Make your AI transformation more successful.
