Executive AI Readiness Lab

Reimagine leadership, work, and operating models for the AI era

AI success does not depend on technology alone. The main challenge is to align leadership, get teams ready, provide clear governance and trusted data foundations. Ultimately, operating models need to be designed for humans and AI to work together.

Join Business Unit Director Transformation Ellen Barree, and Google AI GTM Lead Nino de Rijk for an Executive AI Readiness Lab to work on the redesign of  operating models for a world where humans and AI work side by side.

What to Expect

In this Executive AI Readiness Lab, led by industry experts, you will work with peers to explore the critical question:

What does an organization need to look like to truly benefit from AI?

Many AI sessions focus on tools, demos, and inspiration. This lab focuses on what it takes to make AI work inside your organization.

Together, we will explore the human and operational side of AI adoption: how leadership teams align, how employees adopt new ways of working, how governance enables responsible use, and how data and technology foundations support scalable AI.
