For senior technology leaders, reinvention is likely to be powered by artificial intelligence (AI) in all its forms. Smart deployment of AI – and generative AI (GenAI), in particular – promises to deliver efficiency savings and productivity gains, coupled with meaningful change that pushes at the limits of modernisation

All this excitement must be tempered with the challenges IT leaders face, however.

First, responsible organisations are balancing their need for greater compute power with their obligations to environmental sustainability. Energy optimisation is a must.

Second, the same organisations are contemplating how to deliver innovation in a changing regulatory landscape. For example, US government export controls on the high-performance GPUs that power large language models (LLMs), threaten to stifle innovation and experimentation. For the regions IT leaders, an alternative strategy is required.

It is these challenges and opportunities that we will explore at this specially-convened executive roundtable dinner, brought to you by Tech Monitor and AMD.

We’ll ask how can senior technology leaders chart a path to reinvention and how they help lead their organisation to success in a time of volatility? We’ll also examine the role of IT leadership in driving the business forward. And we’ll discuss what are the hard and soft skills required to influence change and take the business with you.

Among the topics we’ll discuss:

• Delivering on an energy optimisation and sustainability agenda
• Exploring the extent and limits of AI / GenAI
• Managing AI workloads on premise and in the cloud
• Overcoming regulatory obstacles
• Optimising energy consumption
• Delivering TCO and ROI
• Understanding the changing nature of IT leadership
• Uncovering the new skills requirements
