ORCHARD TECH TALKS
Stop piloting, start scaling
Why AI transformation stalls - and what it actually takes to move forward
The problem
Your team has the tools. You’ve run pilots. But most AI projects still stall before they scale.
Our panel:
a client who’s made it work in their business
a creative leader keeping it human while moving fast
Your MC for this panel, who co-founded Orchard 20 years ago and leads it today as CEO, after a career in digital at agencies across the UK and Asia-Pacific.
What you’ll actually learn
Four practitioners doing this right now will tell you what’s working, what’s failing, and what you need to stop doing:
-
What AI adoption actually looks like inside complex organisations - the wins, the stalls, and what separates them
-
How to build an AI governance framework that enables speed rather than killing it
-
The leadership conversation your board is asking for - and how to have it with confidence
-
What AI is changing about how organisations communicate externally, and the brand risks leaders aren’t seeing clearly
-
What genuine transformation looks like versus well-funded experimentation
-
What it actually takes to keep people curious, creative and adaptive when AI is changing how work gets done
Who should come
Leaders in marketing, technology, or operations who are in the thick of implementation. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to be the one trying to make it work.
