An open discussion for senior leaders from across various industries for a focused Change & Transformation Roundtable.

I’m pleased to invite you to our Transformation Leaders Roundtable discussion taking place in Nottingham on Thursday 25 June 2026, starting from 6pm. This session will bring together leaders working across Change and Transformation to explore current priorities, shared challenges, and the evolving ways teams are driving meaningful progress. Your insight and experience would add real value to the group, and I would be delighted to have you join us.

Recent conversations across the market have highlighted a clear theme: while many have aimed to avoid yet another AI-focused discussion, now is exactly the right moment to have one. Organisations are finally seeing tangible, practical results from real-world AI applications, both operational and transformational, making this a timely opportunity to share successes, lessons, and perspectives.

Proposed agenda:

• AI: Operational AI vs Transformational AI - what use cases are proving successful?
• The current economic climate and its influence on transformation delivery
• Vendor management vs offshoring: how to balance cost, capability, and quality
• Demand vs capacity: navigating resource constraints
• Strategic vision vs execution
• Operating model design considerations
