Executive Roundtable Success | Walkerscott x Microsoft
On 30 October 2025, Walkerscott and Microsoft successfully hosted an Executive Roundtable at the Park Hyatt Auckland, bringing together visionary business leaders committed to shaping the future of enterprise in the age of AI.
The session, The Executive’s Guide to Building a Frontier Firm, explored how the next era of business growth goes beyond operational efficiency. Today’s forward-thinking organizations are using AI not just to react — but to anticipate, innovate, and lead.
Executives engaged in a strategic conversation focused on elevating organisational capability from internal optimisation to scalable market impact.
Speakers Blair Scott, Founder & Managing Director of Walkerscott, and Dom Pringle, New Zealand Small Medium Corporate Lead at Microsoft, shared insights on how leaders can prepare their businesses to thrive as human-led, AI-operated enterprises.
Key themes included:
- Human-led, agent-operated teams — preparing for a future where digital agents work alongside human strategy to drive productivity and transformation.
A future-ready data foundation — building secure, scalable data estates to unlock advanced AI capabilities across the enterprise.
Pragmatic pathways to becoming a Frontier Firm — with actionable frameworks and real-world investment insights, including the role of Microsoft Fabric and Purview in enabling the journey.
This executive roundtable provided a valuable platform for senior leaders to exchange perspectives, challenge assumptions, and explore practical strategies for leveraging AI to drive enterprise-level outcomes. A big thank you to our speakers, Walkerscott, Microsoft, and our participating executive community for making this conversation a powerful step toward the AI-enabled future.
