Rethinking AI in Business: Beyond ROI to Business Necessity
23rd October 2025 | 12 Micron - Sydney
Executive Roundtable Success | Spirit Technology Solutions x Microsoft
On 23 October 2025, Spirit Technology Solutions and InfoTrust partnered with Microsoft and DCMG to host a dynamic Executive Roundtable at 12 Micron, Sydney — convening business and technology leaders to redefine the role of AI in modern enterprise.
The theme, Rethinking AI in Business: Beyond ROI to Business Necessity, challenged traditional measures of success and highlighted AI’s shift from innovation experiment to mission-critical capability. Today, leaders are recognising that AI is no longer a “nice to have” — it is becoming foundational to long-term competitive advantage, organisational adaptability, and workforce enablement.
The conversation, led by industry experts Caleb Bateman (Chief Technology & Innovation Officer), Scott Piper(National Sales Director), and Jahan Sheikh (Partner Solutions Lead – Copilot), uncovered powerful insights into how organisations can adopt AI responsibly, securely, and strategically.
Key focus areas included:
- AI in the Workplace
From Microsoft Copilot to autonomous agents and workflow automation, leaders explored how AI elevates productivity, fuels innovation, and transforms daily operations.
Security & Governance
With AI adoption rising, strengthening identity controls, safeguarding data, and enabling real-time threat detection are now essential pillars — not optional add-ons.
Compliance & Regulation
Navigating evolving AI standards and regulatory landscapes to ensure responsible, ethical, and compliant deployment across industries.
Practical AI Deployment
Avoiding “one-size-fits-all” solutions and instead focusing on practical, fit-for-purpose AI use cases that drive measurable business outcomes.
Participants gained clarity on the strategic mindset required to move beyond ROI as the sole metric — recognising AI as a transformative driver of business resilience, competitive edge, and a more empowered workforce.Thank you to Spirit Technology Solutions, InfoTrust, Microsoft, our speakers, and all participating executives for contributing to a forward-looking discussion about the future of enterprise AI. DCMG is proud to help facilitate meaningful conversations that advance innovation and executive leadership across industries.
