Monday 22 June, 16:30–17:00
Overview
Speakers
Description:
Today’s most influential creators are founders, operators and brand builders, using AI to scale ideas, teams and businesses without losing the human spark that makes brands culturally relevant. As AI accelerates production, distribution and decision-making, the true competitive advantage is no longer speed, but creative direction, taste and leadership.
Steven Bartlett and David Wadhwani share insight into both enterprise-scale innovation and modern creator leadership, focusing on how AI is reshaping who gets to build, lead and scale brands – and what it takes to do so responsibly and creatively.
Questions this session will answer:
- How to turn creative direction into a real competitive advantage?
- How to lead with AI strategically to build and scale the next generation of iconic brands responsibly?
- How to create an invisible infrastructure to free up teams to focus on originality, culture and purpose?
