Modernising Without Disruption - Perth

Myth-busting AI, ERP and transformation

AI ambition is moving faster than enterprise readiness. As CIOs face pressure to replace, migrate or modernise, this roundtable challenges the assumptions behind those decisions and explores what it really takes to create practical business value.

Join Jennifer O’Brien, founder of Stories Ink, Tal Nathan, Regional CTO, ANZ at Rimini Street and a select group of senior technology and business leaders for an intimate, myth-busting conversation at Archie Brothers Entertainment Quarter in Sydney.

We’ll explore whether innovation really requires wholesale technology replacement, where existing enterprise investments may still have years of value and how leaders can move beyond AI theatre to measurable operational impact.

What you’ll take back to the business

Challenge the upgrade mandate

Separate practical modernisation needs from vendor-led urgency and pressure to replace technology you already own.

Put business value before AI hype

Start with the business, optimise the processes that matter, automate what can be defined and apply AI where it can genuinely add value.

Move from experimentation to impact

Discuss how to turn AI ambition into measurable operational value while addressing data foundations, workforce readiness and governance.
