    Thursday 16th October 2025 • 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

    • Leverage Platform teams to provide internal AI capabilities and Enabling teams to safely facilitate AI adoption, fostering end-to-end stewardship within your Stream-aligned teams.

    Implement Active Knowledge Diffusion (AKD) for rapid learning and efficiency

    • Learn how AKD systematically spreads AI learnings through internal conferences and communities of practice, ensuring teams build on each other's innovations rather than duplicating efforts.
    • Prevent inefficient and wasteful independent AI exploration by establishing a curated approach to discovery and sharing of AI advancements.
    • Equip your teams to become better risk assessors and adapt quickly to the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

    Establish governance that actually works

    Governance as an accelerator

    • Understand how effective COO-led governance balances the tension between innovation and risk, enabling continuous evolution rather than project-based, siloed initiatives.
    • Transform the perception of governance from a blocker to an enabler, providing the guardrails necessary for faster, safer AI adoption and continuous organizational capability building.
