The event brought together Managing Directors, COOs, and senior functional leaders from across professional services to explore practical AI strategy and real-world use cases.

  • A structured roadmap from AI strategy through to implementation

  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them, especially around wasted investment

  • Lessons from Intalex’s own journey adopting AI and embedding it into operational workflows

  • How to make AI stick, including training and governance frameworks
