NewLeading Strategically in an AI World – A Primer for Non-Digital Leaders

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant concept—it’s already influencing policy, service delivery, public trust, and the way our organisations operate. For public sector leaders, understanding AI isn’t about coding or becoming a data scientist—it’s about making informed, ethical, and strategic decisions that serve the public good.

As AI adoption grows across government and public services, there is a critical need for leaders to:

  • Understand what AI can and can’t do
  • Navigate the legal and ethical implications
  • Identify strategic opportunities without compromising core values or compliance

NIRAN MOTHADA

This webinar will help bridge the gap for non-digital leaders who are increasingly being asked to make decisions about technology without a technical background.

Delivered by Niran Mothada, an experienced public sector transformation leader, this 60-minute session will give you an insightful and accessible introduction to leading in an AI-driven world.

  • Understanding the AI Landscape in the Public Sector
  • The Strategic Building Blocks of an AI Approach
  • The One Key Takeaway:  Digital Leadership Requires Agility And The Ability To Leverage, And Navigate The Uncertainty Of Emerging Technologies.

“AI strategy must start with a clear understanding of your organisation’s specific challenges and objectives—before selecting tools or technology.”

You’ll learn how public sector leaders can take a grounded, needs-first approach—ensuring any future use of AI supports your mission and upholds ethical standards.
