Why this matters now

AI adoption reached 88% of surveyed organisations in 2025; 70% used generative AI in at least one business function.

Participants distinguish genuine market signals from hype, evaluate where existing operating models underperform and explore the economic, technological and organisational constraints on change. The emphasis is on decisions that can be tested, funded and implemented, rather than technology demonstrations without commercial outcomes.
