Climate change: Crisis and Opportunity. What we face due to fossil-fuelled climate change is literally the end of the world as we know it—but that colossal shift carries two distinct meanings.

Our planet is accelerating toward cascading extreme weather events. These crises will test our infrastructure, communities, and businesses to the absolute limit. More devastating catastrophes are inevitable, and we must be prepared.

This in-part interactive webinar goes beyond the theory. Attendees will participate in live, critical scenario-planning, answering the vital question: "What would you do in certain extreme situations?"

Presented by: Vallikat Peethamber, Co-Founder, Vectorpeak Technologies and Business Advisory Services

Most organisations aren't short of AI models. What they're short of is AI they can actually trust with decisions that matter — and explain when someone asks why. As AI moves from experimentation into core business operations, that gap between prediction and explanation is becoming a board-level problem.

In this practical, jargon-free session, Vallikat Peethamber, Co-Founder of VectorPeak, explores how Causal AI is changing what "intelligent automation" actually means — moving beyond systems that simply spot patterns to systems that understand cause and effect well enough to justify their own conclusions.

Drawing on real deployment work across financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing, Vallikat will walk through what this means in practice with the Canon+ framework: how a single, consistent reasoning approach can replace a patchwork of opaque models, and the steps organisations can take now to start building AI systems that are not just accurate, but accountable.

Managing mobile phone services can be time-consuming for schools and multi-academy trusts, with limited resource often making it difficult to maintain visibility of contracts, costs, and device usage.

In this practical webinar, we will explore the common challenges education organisations face when managing mobile phone contracts and share proven strategies to improve oversight, streamline administration, and reduce unnecessary expenditure. We will discuss approaches to contract management, tariff optimisation, device lifecycle planning, and ongoing service support.

The session will also examine how schools and MATs can access the benefits of Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework pricing through a compliant pooled public sector approach, helping organisations benefit from greater buying power, increased flexibility, and enhanced service options. 

Presented by: Luis Klefsjo, Head of Product Design, YLD

Most organisations aren't short of ideas. What they're short of is the ability to turn those ideas into things that actually work for real people, and for the business. Design Thinking has long been one of the most effective frameworks for doing exactly that, but AI is changing the rules.

In this practical, jargon-free session, Luis Klefsjo, Head of Product Design at YLD, a London-based product design and engineering consultancy, explores how AI isn't just accelerating Design Thinking, it's reframing it entirely.

Presented by: Oliver Bell, Founder and Managing Director, and Stuart Berman, Commercial Director, Bell Stone Associates

Cost reduction remains a top priority for every business. But the most successful organisations know that sustainable savings don't come from negotiating harder with suppliers, they come from managing the entire technology ecosystem more effectively.
 
For SMEs, IT sourcing is becoming increasingly complex. Software subscriptions, vendor relationships, contract renewals, compliance requirements, and hidden commercial risks can quickly erode budgets and limit growth.In this webinar, Leon Steyn, CEO of Dante Deo, explores how Strategic Cost Management helps organisations reduce costs while creating greater long-term value through better supplier governance, reduced vendor lock-in, and stronger commercial decision-making.

Presented by: Adina Dinu, Founder at Lead Through

Most leaders deal with trauma in their teams, business partners, or clients. Few know how to recognise it or respond to it. The risk of traumatisation, re-traumatisation, and becoming triggered at work is real. Rising levels of change, uncertainty, and pressure make this a growing concern. Left unaddressed, traumatic stress and PTSD will affect performance, retention, and culture. Join Adina Dinu, founder of Lead Through, for a practical introduction to trauma and PTSD at work. Attendees will learn what they are, how they show up, and what you can actually do about it.

Attendees will leave knowing how to:

• Recognise the full range of stress responses employees and clients can experience

• Tell the difference between underperformance and traumatic stress responses

• Have difficult conversations that restore performance, motivation, and trust.

This session is for HR professionals, people managers, and senior leaders who want to understand the people they work with better, and lead them more effectively.

Presented by: Bisola Fasanya, Founder, Atel Q

As an LCCI member, you can access free B2B marketing data lists through the Business Information Services benefit. Most businesses download a list, send one generic email, and give up when nothing comes back. The problem is not the list. It is what happens next. 

This webinar is designed to show you how to use AI to turn raw company data into genuine conversations. Drawing on her background in data analytics and AI implementation, Bisola Fasanya, will walk through a practical method you can apply to any list, whether it comes from LCCI, a trade show, or your own network.

Presented by: Christopher Tierney, Forward Deployed Engineer - AI Architect, Dell Technologies

AI doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or overwhelming, and it doesn’t require a complete business overhaul to deliver value.

In this 45-minute, live, demonstration-led webinar, Christopher Tierney from Dell Technologies, will show SMEs how to get started with AI in a practical, low-risk and cost-effective way, with a strong focus on knowledge transformation rather than technology transformation.

Through real examples and hands-on demonstrations, you’ll see how everyday AI tools can help teams save time, improve decision-making, and work more creatively, without requiring specialist skills or large budgets. We’ll explore how organisations can create the time, space, and permission for teams to learn, experiment and “play” with AI, building confidence and capability step by step.

This session is designed for business leaders, managers and teams who want to move beyond the hype and start building real AI capability by learning, testing, and evolving together.
