The pace of change today is the slowest it will ever be.
Competitive advantage now depends on scaling AI-driven innovation and leveraging the broader AI ecosystem — but execution is the hard part: integrating models into real workflows, data, platforms, and controls at enterprise speed.
This Executive Technology Board meeting focuses on two outcomes: the repeatable patterns members are using to increase innovation velocity inside large enterprises, and external perspectives on what’s coming next in AI and how to engage it pragmatically.
Morning is a closed, members-only working session. Afternoon features research leadership, venture investors, and founders. Optional dinner follows.
Agenda Overview
Morning – Closed session (members only)
A candid, off-the-record working session on what’s actually working (and not working) as enterprises scale AI. We’ll compare approaches to:
- Building an AI innovation portfolio that produces measurable outcomes (funding, prioritization, metrics)
- Moving from pilots to reusable platforms and components (data, architecture, integration patterns; reusable building blocks)
- The enterprise “innovation system” required for speed at scale (decision rights, intake-to-production cycle time, and tiered controls/guardrails that manage risk without slowing delivery)
Afternoon – Open session (with external guests)
A curated conversation on frontier signals and emerging approaches — leveraging Toronto’s globally recognized AI research and startup ecosystem. We’ll bring in innovation and research leadership, venture investors, and startup founders to discuss:
- Where the frontier is moving and what will matter next
- What they’re building now — and what they’re seeing in real deployments
- What effective enterprise–ecosystem collaboration looks like in practice: where to partner, what to build, and how to avoid brittle dependencies
Evening – Optional dinner
Off-the-record dinner to continue the discussion and translate the day into a short set of concrete actions and bets participants can take back.
