Stop Guessing, Start Winning with AI (Rochdale)
Businesses are under pressure to innovate and stay competitive, and AI can be a gamechanger when used effectively. This session explores how Greater Manchester companies can leverage AI to create value, save time, and improve decision-making across departments.
We’ll examine real-life applications in customer service, marketing, forecasting, and operations, and provide hands-on frameworks for assessing which initiatives are worth pursuing. Attendees will also learn practical ways to address implementation challenges, manage cultural and ethical considerations, and build teams ready to work with AI tools. Walk away with clear, actionable strategies to turn AI from a buzzword into a tangible driver of growth.
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.
