Business Breakfast - AI That Earns Its Keep: From Opportunity to Organisational Impact

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future consideration for business leaders. The challenge now is understanding how to identify the right opportunities, implement solutions effectively and embed them in a way that delivers measurable value.

Join the University of Liverpool Management School for a Business Breakfast bringing together industry expertise and academic insight to explore what successful AI adoption looks like in practice. Rudy Parengal, Founder and CEO of Abjak, will share practical lessons from working with organisations to implement AI, highlighting where businesses are seeing value, common pitfalls and the realities of turning AI ambition into business outcomes.

Drawing on her expertise in project management, technology-enabled transformation and emerging technologies, Dr Jennifer Davies will explore the organisational factors that influence why AI initiatives succeed or fail, and how leaders can build the capabilities needed to support lasting change.

The event will conclude with an interactive audience Q&A, providing an opportunity to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing organisations as they seek to move from experimentation to meaningful impact.
