LIVE WEBINAR SERIES
From AI Pilots to Pole Position
The three elements of enterprise AI success: Strategy, Engineering and Enablement
- Every 2 weeks in April 2026
- Broadcast live at 10 AM ET // 3 PM BST
- Join via Zoom
The past few years have been about AI experimentation: pilots, proofs of concept, and exploring what AI might do. But it’s time to get off of the starting line.
The organisations pulling ahead are those turning AI into something dependable, scalable and embedded across the enterprise.
Ortecha’s mission is to get more organisations across the finish line and see real business value.
About the Series:
This webinar series explores how to move you from AI pilot to pole position.
Across three sessions, Brian McConnell, Partner & Head of Canada at Ortecha, will match up with our own AI leaders to break down the three elements required to make enterprise AI work:
Strategy → Engineering → Enablement
Real AI advantage doesn’t come from pilots. It comes from building AI that can actually perform.

Session 3 | AI Enablement: Embedding AI Into the Organisation
Thursday, April 30 at 10am ET // 3pm BST
In the final session, Sean examines the human side of enterprise AI: operating models, capability development, change management, and accountability structures that embed AI into everyday decision-making.
Sustainable AI advantage comes not just from technology, but from how organisations truly adopt it and use it, with confidence.
