Todd Bowman - Best Practices for AI Governance Implementation
As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in business operations worldwide, organisations face a critical inflection point: the shift from experimental AI adoption to sustainable, responsible integration.

In this session, Todd will:
• Share proven governance frameworks that balance innovation with accountability
• Explore practical implementation strategies for AI oversight and ethics
• Discuss how to build organisational capacity for responsible AI deployment
• Address common challenges in establishing AI governance structures

Beyond Prompting: Multi-Dimensional AI Literacy and New Operating Models for the AI Era — Dr Elsamari Botha
The integration of AI into organizations represents more than a technological upgrade, it demands a fundamental transformation in how we work, decide, and deliver value. While many AI upskilling efforts focus narrowly on prompting techniques, truly thriving in an AI-enabled world requires a far more comprehensive approach. This talk explores two critical dimensions of organizational readiness for AI: Multidimensional AI Literacy Frameworks, and new Operating Models for the AI Era (and the skills employees will need to thrive in these contexts)

In this session, Dr Elsamari will:
• Define what multi-dimensional AI literacy really means beyond prompting
• Present frameworks for building AI capability across organizations
• Explore new operating models required for the AI era
• Discuss the skills employees need to thrive in AI-enabled environments glass with your local AI Community!
