WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS
The AI Outlook: Australia 2026 report highlights a critical inflection point for Australian organisations. While AI adoption is widespread and executive intent is strong, most enterprises are still struggling to move beyond pilots and fragmented initiatives to deliver consistent, measurable business value.
This invitation-only executive roundtable brings together senior technology leaders for a candid, off-the-record discussion on what it really takes to scale AI in Australia in 2026 — securely, responsibly, and with clear ROI.
The conversation will focus on the practical realities leaders are facing today: execution gaps, data and platform readiness, governance and security concerns, and growing pressure from boards and CFOs to prove value.
Rather than exploring AI hype or theoretical futures, this session will centre on how leading organisations are moving from experimentation to execution — treating AI as a core organisational capability and making smarter decisions around use cases, platforms and partners.
The discussion will be facilitated by:
Peter Swart, Regional Director, OutSystems
Lee Naidoo, Head of Architecture, OutSystems
Together, they will guide a peer-driven conversation drawing on real enterprise experience across Australia and the region, with a brief demonstration of building and orchestrating an agentic workflow to show how AI moves from concept to execution.
Key Discussion Points
The roundtable will explore five core themes shaping AI success in Australia:
- From Curiosity to Consequence
How are organisations shifting AI efforts from experimentation to initiatives that deliver measurable business outcomes? - AI as a Capability, Not a Project
What operating models, ownership structures and governance are required to embed AI into the fabric of the organisation? - Practical, Business-Backed Use Cases
Which AI use cases are actually scaling today, and how are business leaders sponsoring and sustaining them? - Foundations Before Acceleration
How ready are data, integration, architecture and security foundations to support production-grade and agentic AI? - Platforms, Ecosystems and Partners
How are organisations balancing build vs buy decisions, avoiding lock-in, and leveraging partners to scale AI with confidence?
