The executive boardroom luncheon brought together a select group of senior Australian business leaders for a candid, peer-led discussion on how organisations were operationalising AI at enterprise scale and translating investment into tangible business value. The session also featured Joydeep Mukherjee, EVP & Global Lead for Data, AI & Digital Services at Infosys, who shared a global perspective on scaling AI capabilities and embedding transformation across large enterprises.

The discussion explored the shift from AI experimentation and isolated pilots towards enterprise-wide implementation and measurable outcomes. Leaders examined the importance of data readiness, governance, workforce transformation, risk management, and competitive pressures in scaling AI effectively.

Held under Chatham House Rule, the session provided a trusted environment for participants to share real-world experiences, discuss what was and wasn’t working, and explore how organisations were aligning people, platforms, and data to build repeatable AI capabilities and realise meaningful returns on their investments.
