What's the difference between an interesting experiment and a game-changing asset?

It's deciding to make the leap from one to the other. It's knowing that now is the right time to go from starting out to scaling up. And that's where a lot of businesses currently find themselves with their approach to AI.

With 78% of organisations using AI in at least one area of their business, the curiosity phase is over. Businesses have trialled and reported and trialled some more, and leaders have seen how using AI isn't just about doing things quickly - it's about unlocking competitive advantages, encouraging innovation and delivering value to every layer of a business.

But growing a pilot test into a project that embeds AI securely, responsibly and profitably across an entire business is no easy feat.

So, what can we learn from those who've turned successful introductions into successful integrations? How do senior leaders build the right infrastructure and culture to support widespread AI adoption? And what does it mean to truly transform a business with AI?

That's what we're exploring with Senior Leader from NVIDIA and Sam Roddick, Global Chief of Strategy for Consulting Services at Deloitte, as we ask: How do we move from trialling to transforming?

Tune in to find out:

• The two timelines businesses need to plan for in their AI strategy
• How some of the world's most influential organisations are merging human and digital workforces
• The significant changes AI will make to traditional business models
• What businesses of any size can do to move out of 'pilot purgatory'

When you imagine the future, is it powered by clean energy or driven by AI?

As the UK works towards its net-zero goals, our energy system is being asked to do more than ever before – delivering power that's cleaner, smarter, and more reliable to support an increasingly digital and connected world

The future isn't just electric – it's intelligent. Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we live and work, boosting productivity, driving economic growth, and helping to tackle some of society's biggest challenges. But AI doesn't run on ideas and data alone – it runs on energy. And as its capabilities expand, so does the demand for power to keep it running.

So how do we make sure the UK's ambition to lead in AI and achieve net zero go hand in hand? Can we build an energy system of the future that powers both our digital and sustainable ambitions? What will it take to get there, and who needs to lead the charge?

That's what we're exploring in this episode of The Green Room with Carol Yan, General Manager responsible for Amazon Web Services' Energy & Utilities business across the UK & Ireland, and Tom Harris, leader of Deloitte's Sustainable Business Solutions practice, as we ask: What will it take to power our AI goals?

Tune in to find out:

• How AI and new technology is accelerating the journey towards a more sustainable future
• What really happens when energy giants and tech companies innovate together
• Why "coopetition" is key to tackling AI's environmental impact
• How businesses can scale AI responsibly without losing their competitive edge

A lot has changed about how we work and do business. But one truth has remained the same – the importance of relationships.

We've all felt the benefits of building good business relationships; successful projects, faster progress, confident decisions, career opportunities and meaningful support.

We've probably all felt the effects of less-good relationships too; stilted results, miscommunication, lack of trust and a lot of frustration.

Whether it's the long-standing client who just introduced a new leader, the potential client who isn't really looking to buy right now, or the unlikely alliance that could change everything; behind every deal, launch, and partnership is people - and the way we relate to each other is at the heart of what really drives success.

So, what does it take to build successful business relationships in a world of hybrid meetings, endless emails, and fast-moving change?

That's what we're exploring with Dr Linda Papadopoulos, psychologist, academic and author, and Nina Gopal, a partner in banking and capital markets at Deloitte UK, as we ask: What's the secret to stronger business relationships?

Tune in to find out:

• What three traits are found in every successful relationship
• How to transform conflict into a catalyst for better business relationships
• Why our reliance on digital communication is preventing us from truly connecting
• Two things we can all do tomorrow to improve our professional interactions
