Four meetings this week. Four different demands, all pointing at you.
A Brainsquare Group event
Navigate 2026
Steady course through changing waters
Half a day, invite-only, for the people who plan, decide, and run it.
Innovate on what you already have.
The priorities in the room
- What to standardise, and what to protect
- Keeping it running while the budget moves to innovation
- AI that survives production, at scale, with your data
- Every trading partner, another format to build
Overheard in a boardroom like yours
Let me guess. Someone in data wants a GPU. Operations wants everything to keep running. Your transformation lead wants a roadmap that still makes sense next year. And Finance wants faster reporting.
You’ve read my inbox.
It’s the same inbox everywhere.
The vendor says one platform covers all of it. End to end, inside their box.
It covers plenty. One size fits the average company. Ours needs room for the part that makes us different.
Then we build that part ourselves.
Some of it. And then we run it at three in the morning for the next eight years.
And the AI project?
Beautiful in the demo. Ask me again when it runs in production, at scale, and the data behind it stays ours.
So what do I tell the board?
That the first decision is what to standardise and what to protect.
Who else is coming
A room of peers, each invited by name. Including the ones who already made these calls.
Deliberately cross-sector, because the same decisions keep turning up everywhere. CIOs, CFOs, enterprise architects, transformation and operations leads. Some of them are our clients, so you get their experience first hand.
