Artificial intelligence is everywhere but is it worth the hype? Are you a senior leader looking to understand how and where to start? Curious about how artificial intelligence can truly transform your organisation? Then look no further…

…new for 2025! DIN are excited to announce that we have partnered with uptakeAI to offer an exclusive opportunity to explore the “AI Adoption Playbook”, designed to help senior leaders in social housing take the first crucial step—leadership alignment. Discover how aligning executive vision can lay the foundation for AI-powered cultural change and position your organisation at the forefront of innovation. The playbook will be delivered over 4 sessions throughout 2025 and provide members with practical tips and takeaways.

This session (session 1) will demonstrate how executive alignment is the foundation for Al adoption, driving cultural change within social housing organisations. Through attending this event members will explore how:

• Executives must collaborate across departments to ensure Al adoption aligns with organisational goals.

• A strong relationship between HR and IT leaders is critical to ensure alignment on both the technical and human sides of Al adoption.

• Leaders should model behaviours that encourage experimentation and openness to Al-driven transformation.

• Al adoption should include dynamic, regular feedback loops, enabling senior leadership to continuously adjust strategies and ensure alignment with the organisation's evolving needs.
