Is Your Organization Ready to Scale AI?

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

AI success does not depend on technology alone. It depends on whether your organization is ready to adopt it, govern it, and embed it into the way people work.

Join Transformation Leader Ellen Barree, and Google AI Ambassador Nino de Rijk for an executive working session on how leaders can redesign organizations for a world where humans and AI work side by side.

Date: June 18, 2026
Time: 15.30 - 20.00, including dinner
Location: Wibautstraat 202, Amsterdam

AI promises dramatic productivity gains, faster decision-making, and new ways of working. But many organizations remain stuck in experimentation because the foundations for adoption are not yet in place.

The main challenge is to align leader, get teams ready, provide clear governance and trusted data foundations. Ultimately, operating models need to be designed for humans and AI to work together.

In this Executive AI Readiness Lab, led by industry experts, you will work with peers to explore a 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 the organization.

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.

Xebia brings together transformation, cloud, data, software engineering, and AI expertise to help organizations move from pilots to lasting business impact.

Transformation Lead

At Xebia, we see AI transformation as both an organizational and technology shift. Leaders need to prepare their people, governance, and operating model, while also modernizing the core systems, data foundations, and software delivery capabilities that AI depends on. That is why our approach connects executive readiness with practical capabilities such as AI-native software modernization, agentic data foundations, sovereign cloud architectures, and Gemini Enterprise-powered industry solutions.
