This is a breakfast briefing for those tasked with delivering AI projects and programmes in Financial Services and similar highly-regulated sectors.
Most AI conversations - especially those with vendors - assume you can deploy quickly, experiment freely, and figure out governance later. But that’s not how your world works. The ‘move fast and break things’ ethos means pilots stall, adoption stays low, and boards lose confidence.
Over this 2.5-hour breakfast briefing, the Nile team will share what we’ve learned in the trenches delivering AI work with UK regulated businesses. At this event, we’ll bring together specialists from organisations like yours, taking you through the key approaches to getting AI right, and creating the space to hear from others and discuss shared challenges.
A light breakfast of pastries and granola pots will be provided, plus tea, coffee and soft drinks throughout the session.
What you’ll take away
What makes AI pilots in regulated businesses stall, and how to create the conditions for success.
The difference between delegating to AI and abdicating to it.
How to build a business case that survives board-level scrutiny.
Human-in-the-loop patterns designed for compliance-heavy work where simply trusting the model isn’t an option.
This is a structured, expert-led session with space for open conversation. You’ll gain insight from the Nile team, and from peers working in regulated businesses.
We won’t assume you have a team of data scientists on call. And this isn’t a vendor pitch - that’s not who we are.
Who this is for
Those at UK financial services enterprises, insurers, pension providers, and other regulated businesses who are involved in the design and delivery of AI projects and programmes of work.
If you’d rather learn from people who’ve done this work in environments like yours, than sit through yet another vendor presentation, this is the room to be in.
Who we are
The session will be led by Tiernan Haugh and Jamie Spratt, Principal Consultants at Nile. Between them, they have a serious depth of experience in taking regulated businesses from AI ambition to real-world delivery - navigating the governance, the stakeholder complexity, and the adoption challenges that come with the territory.
Nile is a strategic design consultancy that helps some of the UK’s leading businesses in highly-regulated sectors create outcomes that matter. We help them transform for what’s coming, without breaking what works.
