The AI story is shifting. Companies are moving past experimentation into a phase where AI actively shapes how organisations allocate capital, develop products, manage risk, and structure their operations.
The focus is turning from adopting tools to rethinking the fundamentals of how a business runs — how it gains efficiency, accelerates output, and creates value in an AI-driven environment.
Digitalk is where these changes come into focus, giving leaders the clarity and direction they need to build and compete in 2026.
