    9:50 - 10:20 Think Tank | Designing for Impact: Turning Insight into Action
    Rachael Brandon-Lai - Head of Strategy and Experience, Inviqa

    Organisations aren’t short on insights. From analytics to qualitative research and customer reviews, there’s more data to leverage than ever before. The challenge is converting it into action. Useful understanding often stalls between discovery and delivery, blocked by structure, process, or lack of ownership.

    This session will explore how to move from knowing to doing: how to translate insight into clear priorities, decisions, and design changes. We’ll look at the role of storytelling and influencing in creating momentum, and how the way insights are shared can shape whether they’re actioned. The focus will be on making evidence-driven progress rather than just reporting it.

    11:35 - 12:05 Presentation | What Building AI In Hard Places Has Taught Me About Delivering Safe And Exceptional Customer Experiences

    Robbie Tilleard - General Manager | Europe, Middle East, Africa, Lorikeet

    Most AI demos look impressive. But in regulated industries and complex business environments - where getting it wrong has real consequences - impressive demos aren't enough.

    Robbie Tilleard, General Manager for Lorikeet in EMEA, has worked on some of the earliest practical implementations of AI in finance, healthcare, education, and the public sector across the UK and Europe. He's learned that mainstream AI technologies don't work in demanding environments by default. They have to be thoughtfully architected for compliance, safety, and scale.

    At Lorikeet, an AI customer support platform specializing in voice, chat, and email automation, Robbie works with companies that need to deliver 24/7 support that actually resolves issues - not just deflecting them - while meeting enterprise requirements around configuration, security, and auditability.

    In this talk, Robbie shares battle-tested lessons from deploying AI in environments that can't afford to fail - the framework you need before you deploy AI at scale in any complex business.

    • What are the most impactful AI use cases today and how are they delivering real, measurable value?
    • Which AI approaches are cutting through the noise to improve customer experience and outcomes?
