Real-world AI Delivery
Wednesday 15th October 2025 • 3:40 PM - 4:10 PMIn 2025, we've worked on an increasing number of real-life AI Exemplars with our diverse set of global customers. This talk is an experience report of what works, what doesn’t, how we are delivering faster time to value, and why we believe many within our industry are still underestimating the transformation that’s coming.
The talk will specifically focus on the adoption of AI Delivery (AI in the SDLC) for larger organisations, covering how to get the most out of LLMs, why we generally avoid “vibe coding”, and what the future of software development teams looks like.
Specific takeaways to expect:- How are governments and large corporates creating AI Exemplars to accelerate wider AI in SDLC adoption?
- How do individual roles interact/collaborate differently in “AI Teams”?
- What tips and tricks are ending up in their AI Delivery Playbooks?
