What organisations get wrong in transformation delivery

The technology is ready. Many organisations aren’t.

Join us as we bring together perspectives of finance, audit, assurance, and IT for a candid look at where transformation programmes break down and what communication misalignment we’re seeing that causes challenges.

This discussion will cover AI agent adoption, ERP governance, and the gaps in programme/project delivery that keep catching organisations out.

You’ll leave with a clearer view of where the risks sit, what programme auditors see time and time again, and what to put right before risks turn into issues.

Our panellists will unpack:

  • AI agent adoption and governance - Moving from AI pilots to sustainable adoption, focusing on practical use cases, governance, risk management and how agents can drive productivity and service improvement, while ensuring appropriate human oversight and alignment with business objectives. 

  • ERP implementation challenges - The common delivery, governance and control challenges seen across cloud ERP programmes. This will cover the risks associated with complex data migration, process redesign, systems integration, configuration, user access, segregation of duties, and business readiness as well as how organisations can strengthen ownership, readiness and benefits realisation while avoiding control weaknesses.

  • The view from the auditor’s chair - A practical perspective on what auditors and assurance professionals focus on during major transformation programmesincluding governance, risk, controls, evidence and delivery against intended outcomes.

Join us for the discussion, with Q&A, networking and refreshments.
