Overview
Why this conversation matters
Generative AI is rapidly reshaping how work gets done, but many organisations are moving faster on adoption than on governance. Executives are now being asked to balance innovation with security, compliance, and regulatory accountability.
This roundtable focuses on the real executive questions: how to unlock material value from Microsoft Copilot while protecting data, and maintaining trust and compliance with regulators, boards, and customers.
