Round table: digital savviness in leadership
The rapid rise of technological breakthroughs is accelerating change across every industry. For organisations that are not yet fully on the digital track, the urgency has never been greater. Digital savviness has become a direct lever of competitive strength and a defining skill for leadership.
In this round table, we focus on how leaders can build that savviness. One of the most impactful breakthroughs of the past decade — AI — will serve as a case in point. Many executive teams still struggle with the basics: understanding what AI truly is, what it can and cannot do, how to manage it effectively, and how to embed it meaningfully across the organisation. Without this foundational literacy, the potential of AI remains untapped and the competitive gap widens.

Round table: the rise of data as a product
Fragmented, unreliable data continues to frustrate organisations, slowing decisions, eroding trust, and limiting digital impact. For years, the answer seemed to be more pipelines or bigger central teams, but the rise of AI makes clear: machines, just like people, need data that is reliable, usable and accessible.
Data product thinking changes the game. By treating data as a designed, owned and evolving product, leaders create a foundation for faster insights, higher trust and AI-readiness. This shift is not only technical, but a mindset and organisational change that puts usability and ownership at the core.
In this round table, we’ll ask: what if data could stop being a source of frustration and instead become the backbone for agility, AI and long-term innovation?

Round table: legacy modernisation with AI & platform engineering
Outdated systems continue to hold businesses hostage—draining budgets, limiting agility, and slowing down innovation. For years, modernisation was seen as too costly and risky, but AI-driven code analysis is changing the game by uncovering hidden dependencies, accelerating refactoring, and reducing risk. When combined with platform engineering, organisations gain scalable, consistent environments that empower teams to deliver faster and with greater confidence.
In this round table, we’ll ask the big question: what if legacy modernisation could become a true accelerator of innovation rather than a barrier to it? Together with Red Hat, we will explore how the combination of AI and open-source innovation can dismantle technical debt, automate decision-making, and enable legacy modernisation.
