Almost 80% of all UK firms have now adopted AI in their day-to-day operations.

Yet according to research by Studio Graphene, only 31% of businesses are reporting a positive return on investment. 

Join us at our next Big Business Breakfast event as we explore what it really takes to turn AI adoption into measurable business impact, and close the gap between experimentation and real return on investment.

Taking place at the bet365 Stadium on Friday 26 June, Big Business Breakfast: Embracing AI in the Workplace will bring together business leaders and practitioners to share real-world experiences of how you can make AI work for your business. 

We’re pleased to welcome Alan Reed, Head of Technology Innovation at bet365, as our keynote speaker. Alan will share practical insights from over a decade leading innovation at scale within one of the world’s most advanced digital platforms, focusing on how emerging technologies are tested, shaped and embedded into live products and systems.

Joining Alan will be Professor Raheel Nawaz, Pro Vice Chancellor and Provost at the University of Staffordshire, who will explore why AI initiatives often stall once they enter organisations, and how leadership, culture and operating models need to evolve to turn ambition into delivery.

Alongside him, Rufus Curnow, independent AI consultant and trainer, will focus on the practical realities of implementation, including how to assess AI capability, identify genuine ROI opportunities, and build early-stage AI systems that create real value.

Guests will also enjoy a cooked breakfast and networking with fellow business leaders before and after the sessions.
