With rapid innovation cycles, shifting priorities, and the evolving landscape of AI, many organisations are now asking the critical question – how do we move beyond the hype and disappointment of GenAI to create real business value?
Join us at our latest Tech Leaders Collective – South West Meetup with Nick Darby for a thought-provoking session on how to cut through the noise and focus on what truly drives impact. Nick will share practical ways to harness AI-enabled processes and insights to boost performance, innovation, and meaningful outcomes.
An opportunity to network with fellow tech leaders in the South West area before a thought-provoking talk from Truebird’s, Nick Darby.
The event will be held under Chatham House Rule, creating a trusted environment that encourages open discussion.
After the hype and disappointment of GenAI; how to create real business value from AI (Nick Darby, Head of Advisory and AI Inspiration at Truebird)
For years, only the largest global companies have been able to afford investment in AI services and (through much trial and error) have learnt how to create efficiencies, innovation, adoption, scaling and growth. As the cost of AI brings these advantages within reach for every business, it is experience, practical advice and prioritisation – from strategy and planning to skills and “winning the hearts and minds” – that is scarce. Formerly the Global Head of Insights, Data and AI for a worldwide consultancy, Nick’s career has spanned working for global companies such as Unilever, L’Oreal and Ahold Delhaize, consultancies, vendors, governments and his own successful businesses and brings a practical, pragmatic approach to creating tangible value from AI.
