Beyond AI Tools

You've heard that AI will transform how work gets done—but if we're honest, most of what you've seen is just better autocomplete. Are tools alone really the transformation we were promised, or does it feel like something bigger is missing?

Not only is it possible to get real value from AI, you can do it too—it just requires thinking beyond individual tools. Nothing changes overnight, and Rome wasn’t built in a day, but systems can be built deliberately.

In this session, we’ll reframe AI as part of a working system, not a standalone assistant. We’ll show how storage, collaboration, and governance layer together using concrete examples drawn from software delivery workflows. Rather than abstract theory, you’ll see how AI agents interact with shared context, collaborate with people, and produce outcomes the business can actually measure. The trick isn’t having smarter models—it’s building smarter systems around them.

What you'll take from this session:

A practical system-level framework for moving beyond “AI as a tool”

Concrete examples of AI storage, collaboration, and governance working together

A clear mental model for identifying what comes after copilots

Join us for this session to see what AI looks like when it’s built into real systems for real work. Bring a colleague who’s excited by AI but wants more than another demo of autocomplete!
