AI Leadership Sprint

Part of the West Tech Fest 2026 Satellite Event AI is increasingly influencing how organisations prepare reports, develop recommendations and make decisions. But how do you know when to trust an AI-generated output, when to challenge it and who remains accountable for the final decision? The AI Leadership Sprint is a hands-on, scenario-based leadership experience designed to help you address these questions. Rather than sitting through presentations, you will participate in a realistic boardroom simulation, working with peers to examine AI-generated recommendations, identify potential risks and establish practical approaches to AI oversight. This session will help you move beyond simply using AI tools towards making more informed, accountable decisions about how AI is integrated into your organisation. What You Will Take Home: Through practical exercises and collaborative discussions, you will develop a clearer approach to: • Five-Step Method: A structured process for evaluating, questioning and verifying AI-generated outputs. • Decision and Accountability Guide: A one-page reference to clarify who reviews, approves and takes responsibility for AI-assisted decisions. • Escalation Rules: Practical guidance on when decisions require further verification, specialist input or senior approval. • Team Boundaries: Clearer limits on how AI should be used, when human oversight is necessary and when additional safeguards are required. Who Should Attend? This sprint is designed for leaders and decision-makers who want to integrate AI into their organisations with greater clarity and accountability. Whether you are exploring AI opportunities or already integrating AI into your workflows, this session will help you consider not only what AI can do, but also how your organisation should manage the decisions that follow.
