ABGF EXECUTIVE AI WORKSHOP

Why this session

Not another generic AI briefing.

Built specifically for portfolio company leaders, and shaped by what you tell us in the assessment.

Shaped by your input

Every attendee completes a short assessment beforehand so the content on the day is tailored to your business, not a generic audience.

A genuine peer room

You’ll be alongside fellow senior leaders from across the ABGF portfolio, working through the same commercial pressures.

New Privacy Act obligations take effect 10 December

Requiring businesses to disclose automated decision-making that significantly affects individuals. This session covers what it means for your business.

Leave with a plan, not notes

Every executive leaves having committed to one concrete, high-ROI action for their business. This isn’t a briefing you sit through, it’s one you leave with a next step from.

Four sessions across the morning.

Three hours, facilitated live and in person, with content weighted toward what your business actually needs based on assessment responses rather than a fixed slide deck.

1. The current state of AI

Where the technology actually is today, cutting through the noise, and what it practically means for business leaders right now.

2. Applied use cases

Streamline board report preparation. A thinking partner to test an argument against before you table it. Effective prompting, and where AI agents deliver a measurable return.

3. Governance and the December deadline

Governance frameworks, guardrails, confidentiality, and the automated decision-making transparency obligations commencing under the Privacy Act on 10 December 2026.

4. Emerging trends

What’s coming next in AI, and how your organisation should be preparing now rather than reacting later.

The session closes with every executive being clear on a high ROI AI plan to take back to their business.
