Event Details
Turn AI into practical action for your business
Led by C2S Official Partners Emerge Digital, this four-hour, hands-on leadership session is designed for business leaders looking to understand where AI can genuinely create value within their organisation.
The session will be led by facilitators who use AI daily within Emerge Digital and with their clients, including Melanie Cheeseman, OnyxAI Programme Director; Tom Henson, Managing Director; and Steve Brady, Head of Innovation.
Working through real business scenarios, you’ll explore where AI can improve operations, support growth and enhance employee engagement, with a focus on identifying practical next steps you can take straight back to your team.
The Golden Triangle
The session will explore how value is created when three areas align:
Humans – creativity, judgement and leadership
AI Tools – capability, speed and scale
Operations – the workflows that turn capability into results
Running throughout the session is The MEL Method™ – Mindset, Energy, Leadership, taking you from why AI matters to what you’ll actually do about it.
What you’ll leave with
A clear view of where AI tools, automation and agents genuinely support growth and better decisions
Confidence to lead the human side of change, not just the technology
One or two automation opportunities specific to your business, ready to take back to your team
A working AI agent concept, including where people stay in the loop
A shared language to discuss AI transformation with your leadership team, without needing to be technical
