Artificial Intelligence is more than a new toolset—it's a seismic shift, requiring engineering organisations to rethink their foundations. For technical leaders, this transition isn’t about just adopting code assistants or ML models. It calls for a strategic, intentional redesign—becoming architects of future-ready teams. This presentation moves beyond the AI hype to tackle the complex challenge of embedding AI at the core. We’ll examine how AI transforms not only what we build, but how we build, forcing a re-examination of structures and leadership. We’ll address how to harness AI while building resilient, high-performing teams. The session breaks down three key pillars:
- People (upskilling talent, fostering psychological safety, evolving roles), 
- Process (embedding AI ethically and securely into workflows, refining quality gates, adapting agile methodologies), and 
- Potential (unlocking innovation beyond mere productivity gains, fostering data-driven decision making, tackling previously intractable problems).
Attendees will leave with actionable frameworks and new perspectives for leading their teams through this transformative era, ensuring they don't just adapt to AI, but actively shape an engineering future where both human ingenuity and machine intelligence thrive.

Target Audience: Tech. Team Leads, Software Architects, Director of Engineering, VP of Engineering, CTO
