AI speaking topics

01

Where AI adds value in a business, and where it doesn't

Most businesses have handed out AI tools and hoped. This talk shows leadership teams how to map the business, rank the opportunities by commercial impact, and stop spending on automations that never pay back.

02

Keeping your people in control of AI

Why AI built by an outsider and handed over rarely survives, and what changes when your own team builds it. Champions, ownership and the habits that make AI part of how a business runs.

03

AI governance without the fear

What a sensible AI use policy looks like, what should never go into AI, and how to set a business up safely before anything is built. Plain English, for people who are not technical.

04

Build an agent in the room

Hands-on workshops designed to help teams Understand, Apply and benefit from AI, with a working agent or automation tailored to your organisation by the end of the session.

Who is it for

From big corporate events to bespoke workshops for leadership teams.

Louise gives a no-nonsense view on AI for businesses: what's working, what isn't, and what it takes to make it drive real value.

She has been speaking on stage for more than a decade, to audiences of 500+, across keynotes, panels, podcasts and live workshops, and has hosted executives from Vodafone, Experian, Meta, X and Zalando.

Insightful and engaging, exactly what we needed. Your depth of knowledge and experience was evident, yet you made a complex subject accessible to a novice audience. We came away with a much clearer understanding of the opportunities AI presents and plenty of ideas to explore further.
