Are you steering your transformation, or just reporting on it?
For leaders of transformation, portfolio and program offices, and executives who sponsor them.
The way we steer transformation hasn't kept up
17% of CIOs have guidelines for stopping low-value AI initiatives once they're in production. AI keeps adding to the portfolio, but the way it's steered has barely moved.

Portfolios are growing, with AI adding even more initiatives to manage. Priorities shift, programs become more interconnected, and keeping track gets harder. Information is scattered across slide decks and people's heads, leaving leadership with an outdated view and valuable knowledge lost when people leave.
AI offers an opportunity to rethink how transformation is managed, beyond simply automating admin. Imagine an always-current view of the portfolio, earlier visibility into risks, and a transformation office that retains knowledge over time.
Over breakfast, we'd like to explore what this could look like in practice, share what we're already seeing work, and discuss what it could mean for your organization.
Three questions for the morning
- How do I know what's really happening across my portfolio, without asking for more reports?
- Where is value landing, and what should we stop?
- What will the transformation office look like in two years, and where do we start?
What to expect
Where transformation offices are heading in the age of AI:
- Our view on how transformation offices will evolve, from AI-assisted execution today towards steering that is AI-native, and what each step asks of leaders and their teams.
The intelligent Transformation Office, live:
- We'll show you how we run our own projects with it. Meetings, decisions and risks are captured as they happen and turned into one living picture of the program.
Open conversation with top leaders:
- Time to exchange ideas and connect with senior peers facing the same challenges. Past participants call it a no-fluff zone.
