Lani BeerSpeakerIs AI fatigue starting to show?
After a year of pilots and pressure to ‘do something with AI’, many leaders are asking:
- What’s actually working?
- What’s worth solving now - and what can safely wait?
- And how do we move from experimentation to real, scalable value?
We’ll share what’s working across Australian enterprises and the practical moves that turn AI from activity into advantage.
Expect practical insight, honest patterns, and a clearer path into 2026 - grounded in what’s real, not what’s being sold.

Three perspectives on the same problem
Responsible AI, enterprise innovation, and delivery systems - brought together for one candid, hype-free conversation.

He created Source Agility after years in the trenches, watching brilliant people trapped in broken systems and organisations with big missions stumble over their own complexity.
Niall is known for keeping conversations honest, cutting through noise and focusing leaders on the few moves that genuinely improve flow, capacity and confidence - especially as AI introduces new pressures.
He makes complex delivery challenges feel clear, workable and human.

The reality checks every leader needs heading into 2026
These are the five realities shaping AI success and what they mean for your organisation:
- 1.Leadership clarity - why ‘doing something with AI’ isn’t a strategy, and what clarity actually looks like.
- 2.Capability & capacity - why pilots stall and what it takes to scale responsibly.
- 3.Trust & legitimacy - treating responsible AI as a guardrail, not a brake.
- 4.People & adoption - how to lift participation and reduce fatigue.
- 5.Value & velocity - how to prioritise what truly moves the dial.
Plus: real case examples from complex, regulated environments; patterns that separate success from ‘pilot purgatory’; and practical questions to bring into Q1 planning.
Our angle: clarity before scale
Across most organisations, AI adoption is moving faster than alignment. Pilots surge ahead while strategy, capability and confidence race to keep up. We help leaders bring those forces together.
By combining enterprise delivery, responsible AI and innovation facilitation, we help teams:
- Connect strategy with execution
- Turn experiments into measurable value
- Design governance that enables safe speed
- Strengthen capability through collaboration and clarity
Common questions
Is this a sales pitch?
No - it’s a vendor-free, insight-led session focused on the real decisions leaders face heading into 2026.
Will I get the recording if I cannot attend live?
Yes - all registrants receive the recording and the AI Clarity Compass PDF. However, we strongly encourage attending live for the interactive Q&A where you can get real-time guidance on your specific AI challenges and connect with other senior leaders navigating similar issues.
What if my organisation is only starting with AI?
Perfect. This session meets you where you are - you’ll leave with clarity on where to focus next and what can safely wait.
