Organisations need to move beyond isolated pilots or tool-led experimentation. They need a clear, organisation-wide approach to developing people, equipping them with the technical skills, judgement and confidence to use data effectively and apply AI in ways that drive real business value. This is where working with Corndel - the UK's highest performing apprenticeship provider - and the Growth and Skills Levy represents a major opportunity. Often underused or misunderstood, the Levy is one of the largest readily available investment pots organisations have to reskill their workforce for the Human + AI era. In this session, Tiffany Manteaw, Corndel’s Data and AI Solutions Director, will be joined by senior leaders from Hiscox, BBC and others. Through real-world examples, they’ll illustrate how leading organisations are building strong data foundations, scaling AI capability, and using the Levy to do this in a structured, organisation-wide way. Attendees will learn: • How to use the Growth and Skills Levy to build data and AI capability that delivers real business value • How to establish strong data foundations that enable successful AI adoption • What it takes to scale capability across the organisation • How to measure and prove return on AI through tangible business outcomes
