How to build a practical AI strategy for your business
Most businesses do not have one AI strategy.
They have dozens of disconnected decisions being made across teams, tools and processes.
This practical Skills Academy session will help you bring those decisions into one clear 12-month plan. You will use the Risk Value Seesaw to balance commercial opportunity with the risks that need controlling, assess the gaps within your organisation and identify which AI opportunities are worth pursuing.
Through short exercises and breakout discussions, you will examine what must change beyond the technology itself, including workflows, people, ownership and decision-making. You will also build the foundations of an AI governance framework that fits your organisation.
You will leave with a clearer view of where to start, what to prioritise and a practical method for building your own AI roadmap.
By the end of this session you’ll have a deeper understanding of;
- How to identify and prioritise AI opportunities based on business value
- How to build the foundations of an AI governance framework
- Where to make better decisions about where to invest, experiment and scale as part of your 12-month AI roadmap

About the Speakers:
Ben Rayner works with boards and senior leadership teams who need to make the right calls when everything feels uncertain.
His work spans strategy, operations and AI. But his focus is always the same. How decisions get made. How teams respond. How trust stays intact when change happens fast. Leaders come to Ben carrying real concerns. They’re worried about wasting time or money. Pushing teams too hard or moving too slowly. Losing client trust or damaging culture while trying to keep pace.
Ben’s job isn’t to tell them what to do. It’s to create clarity so good decisions can be made deliberately, not reactively. He’s known for helping leaders feel informed, not overwhelmed. Confident, not threatened by technology.
One board member said Ben “accomplished in 6 hours what we couldn’t crack in 6 months.” His sessions leave people feeling heard, respected and better equipped to lead with intention. This event reflects that same approach. AI doesn’t need to be feared or chased. It needs to be led with care, curiosity and common sense.
