Is Your Organisation Really Ready for AI? Turning AI Ambition into Practical, Governed Action with EMPOWER

Many organisations are investing in AI, Microsoft Copilot, automation and digital transformation before the information foundations underneath them are ready. When information is duplicated, poorly governed, difficult to find, incorrectly shared or has no clear owner, AI does not solve the problem. It can amplify it.

That is why Leadership Through Data and RIMPA Global are working together around the EMPOWER AI Readiness Accelerator.

In this conversational webinar, Anne Cornish and Jacqueline Stockwell will explore what AI readiness really means for information professionals and their organisations, and why information management, governance and leadership need to be part of the AI conversation from the beginning.

Rather than another training programme, EMPOWER is designed as an implementation environment for information leaders who need to turn AI ambition into safe, governed and practical action. Participants learn, apply, receive feedback and create usable workplace outputs as part of the work they are already doing.

The conversation will explore:
  • Is your organisation genuinely AI-ready?
    Why AI readiness starts with trusted information, strong governance, clear ownership and effective Microsoft 365 controls, not simply switching on a new AI tool.
  • Why information professionals need a seat at the AI table
    The opportunity for records, information, privacy, governance and Microsoft 365 professionals to help shape how their organisations adopt AI safely, responsibly and effectively.
  • Moving from AI interest to implementation
    How organisations can move beyond conversations and theory and start producing meaningful workplace outcomes through practical sprints, templates, expert guidance, consultancy and applied learning.
  • What EMPOWER actually does
    A look inside the 12-month AI Readiness Accelerator and how its blended approach brings together Microsoft 365, information management, governance, responsible AI adoption, leadership, live expert support and practical workplace application.
  • Building evidence, not just knowledge
    How participants apply what they are learning to real organisational challenges and create practical outputs and evidence as they progress.
  • The RIMPA Global pathway
    How EMPOWER learning, sprints and assessments align to RIMPA Global's Capability Framework across Governance, Information Management, Information Analysis and Leadership, and how the certification pathway is built around practical evidence rather than attendance alone.
Who should attend?

This webinar is for information, records, governance, privacy, risk, Microsoft 365, digital and AI leaders who are being asked to help their organisations adopt AI and are thinking:

Where do we actually start?

If AI, Copilot or automation is already on your organisation's agenda, this conversation will help you step back and ask a more important question:

Are the information foundations ready for what you are about to build on top of them?

Join Anne Cornish and Jacqueline Stockwell for a practical conversation about moving from AI interest to AI readiness, and from AI readiness to action.

Because AI only works when your information works!
