AI readiness decoded: Strategy, technology, and the human factor

As organisations strive to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their operations, many face significant challenges due to the inherent unknowns of emerging technology. For engineers and technical leaders, these challenges often go beyond the technical realm, requiring a comprehensive framework for experimentation, innovation, and cultural alignment.

This webinar, hosted in partnership with Engineers Australia, explores the nuanced journey of AI adoption, leveraging insights from industry leaders who have navigated these challenges firsthand. Our expert panel will discuss:

The AI readiness framework: Unpacking the six pillars of AI readiness, including ISO 42001 standards, and their role in shaping strategic adoption pathways.
Translating strategy into practice: Practical approaches to implementing AI initiatives while managing risks and fostering innovation.
The human factor in AI: How culture and people-centric strategies drive successful technology integration.

Featuring an engaging blend of storytelling, expert insights, and audience interaction, this session offers valuable guidance for engineering professionals looking to harness AI effectively. Attendees will leave with actionable advice, a clearer understanding of AI readiness, and a cultural lens to complement their technical expertise.
