Automation ROI: Finding the Third of Manual Work You Can Remove
A third of your operations team's manual work can often be handled without hiring — the trick is knowing which third.
Abdullah Abu-Hassan and Ian Dodson spend 45 minutes on exactly that: where automation genuinely removes manual load and where it quietly adds it, a real worked example from a 100-person operations division, and how to size the return before you commit budget or people.
Every attendee leaves with the ROI use-case plan: ready-to-use examples across sales, marketing and finance, with the numbers already worked through.

AI Literacy for Your Business: Which Roles Need It, and How Deep?
Not everyone in your organisation needs the same level of AI capability. This practical, 45-minute session helps you map which roles need AI literacy — and to what depth — so you can meet the EU AI Act's Article 4 AI-literacy obligation without over- or under-investing.
You'll leave with a clear, role-by-role plan: who needs to be AI-capable, at which of three levels, and why — something you can act on the same week.
The three levels of AI literacy:
• Awareness — understands what AI can and can't do, and where the risks sit.
• Working — uses AI tools confidently and safely in day-to-day tasks.
• Advanced — designs, governs and leads AI use across a function.
Who it's for: Heads of L&D, Talent and People who are being asked to "make the organisation AI literate" without a clear picture of what that actually means, role by role.

AI won't do the work. Your people will, if you give them the right foundation.
Ian explores why most AI initiatives stall before they reach the ground floor and what organisations can do instead. Drawing on his experience scaling the Digital Marketing Institute to over 100,000 customers worldwide, he walks through a practical, bottom-up framework for AI adoption that motivates teams, reduces resistance and drives measurable growth without overcomplicating the process.
