"AI In Action: A Day In The Life Of A Business Leader"

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant frontier - it’s here! Reshaping how businesses operate, communicate and create. From automating tasks to generating content and unlocking deep insights from data, AI is revolutionising the workplace. But with every breakthrough comes a bigger question: how do we lead through this change with purpose, integrity and humanity?

In this dynamic and thought-provoking session, Julie Hawker MBE, CEO of Cosmic, will explore the real-world impact of AI on leadership, ethics and organisational culture. Drawing on her extensive experience in digital transformation and leadership development across the South West, Julie will focus on the human side of AI - from building workforce confidence and capability to navigating trust, governance and values.

Expect an honest, practical look at how AI is being deployed in organisations today - the wins, the risks and the lessons learned. Julie will share examples of businesses using AI tools effectively, as well as common pitfalls to avoid!

Whether you are already experimenting with AI or still weighing its potential, this session will spark reflection and offer valuable insights. It’s a chance to explore your own “AI dilemma”: how to embrace innovation while staying true to the human touch that defines great leadership and resilient organisations.

As CEO of Cosmic, Julie plays a key role leading business development and strategic development of its future. Cosmic has been at the forefront of developing and delivering digital skills and digital inclusion across the South West for nearly 30 years.
