AI readiness through the CIO lens: A ‘real talk’ roundtable discussion on AI preparedness in 2026
Join us for an interactive roundtable dinner where two companies combine to delve into the realities of introducing AI into organisations and why readiness in the board room is critical.
Graham Moore, as the former CIO of Stagecoach Group, a £1.5bn revenue transport operator, will bring the CIO’s perspective on how to identify, approach and drive adoption of AI along with real world use cases.
Craig Ellis is Spherica’s Innovation Director and will support Graham’s insights, delving into AI innovations that the C-Suite will understand, also outlining an award-winning business case for AI used within Spherica’s own operations that drives efficiency, improvement and tangible cost savings.
This will be an engaging peer-to-peer dialogue for the attendees to share their experiences thus far, both the challenges and successes.
