Power Hour
Leading AI, Human First

Using AI Without Losing Trust or Talent

AI With a Human Core

Leading the Next Era of Work Without Losing What Matters

By 2026, the question will no longer be whether organisations use AI – but how they lead through it. The real differentiator will be leadership choices, culture and trust, not the tools themselves.

This online event will explore how organisations are adopting AI in ways that enhance human capability rather than undermine it.

Key themes & what attendees will learn:

  • Where organisations are getting AI adoption right or wrong
  • How leaders can introduce AI without eroding trust or engagement
  • Where AI should enhance human capability and where it shouldn’t replace it
  • What new leadership skills are required in AI-enabled organisations
  • What ethical considerations leaders should prioritise when automating work and decisions

    Beyond Adoption: Why AI Transformation Needs a Destination, Not Just Deployment
    Most organisations find themselves trapped in a cycle of constant adoption: new AI tools, new training programs, and new mandates. However, without a clearly defined destination, a vision for what ‘good’ looks like when AI seamlessly becomes business as usual, teams risk merely treading water. This session moves beyond short-term fixes to focus on the essential framework for purpose-driven AI integration that truly sticks.

    A.I. Can’t Lead Anything

    A.I. can generate ideas, write strategy decks, and move at breathtaking speed. But speed isn’t leadership. In this provocative session, Josh Allan Dykstra challenges a growing misconception: that adopting A.I. faster is the same as leading better. As organizations race to automate, something more important is quietly shifting. The future won’t belong to the leaders who use A.I. the most. It will belong to the ones who understand what it CAN’T do.
