AI-Ready or Not? Bridging the Gap Between AI Ambition and Data Reality

12 Feb 2026

Ce La Vi, London

The promise of AI is undeniable. Yet while pressure is mounting on senior leaders to deliver value from these investments, real-world outcomes remain mixed. Some initiatives scale and transform, while others stall or fail to move beyond the pilot stage. In this private roundtable dinner, we’ll explore what actually drives successful AI adoption – beyond the hype. Together, we’ll discuss:

  • Which AI applications and use cases are delivering tangible impact
  • The practices, models, and behaviours that set high-performing teams apart
  • Common roadblocks to scaling AI beyond the lab
  • How organisations are preparing their data, tech, and people to become truly AI-ready
  • How leaders are measuring and proving ROI in complex enterprise environments

3 key takeaways:

  1. Where organisations are actually getting measurable value from AI?
  2. What’s working (and what isn’t) when it comes to scaling AI efforts?
  3. How to get your data and teams truly AI-ready
