Presenting AI to the Board
Overview
Over the past three months, several IBRS clients have asked Dr. Sweeney to present AI opportunities to their board. During these sessions, Joe reset board expectations by first simplifying the practical realities of different forms of AI, detailing the risks that the board needs to govern, and finally providing realistic and practical scenarios where AI could provide value in the context of their organisation. In summary, IBRS provided a framework for thinking about AI.
Dr. Sweeney can either present to your senior executive or detail the framework we use and help you develop your own presentation to answer your board’s burning question: “Where’s our AI strategy?”

Future Workplace: Trends, AI and What's Coming
Overview
IBRS recently completed our in-depth future workforce ‘comet’ timeline that explores both the likely technologies heading to the market out to 2035, and also how organisations will respond and new use cases. Dr. Sweeney can present near and long-term predictions and discuss how your organisation can be ready for the future. He will also discuss how your organisations may be impacted by new technologies, such as AI graphs, post-agentic services with invisible AI, new modes of working with devices, as well as the impact of the ‘generation AI’ entering the workforce and more.

Why We Need a New ICT FinOps Model
Overview
With ICT consumption costs skyrocketing – in no small part due to higher resource costs as cloud providers ramp up storage and computing for AI and automation services – many IBRS clients are seeking ways to reduce costs. In many organisations, ICT budgets cannot meet the demand for more consumption-based services. Dr. Sweeney recently presented to 50 top CFOs on the need to rethink how they plan budgets and fund ICT in the age of AI and hyper-automation. He detailed an alternative financial model to the classic ‘ROI’ and ‘business case’ based on the concept of ‘innovation dividends’. If you are looking for ways to fund new services that materially benefit your organisation, discussing this alternative final operating model would be worthwhile.

Coping With Information Hyperinflation
Overview
IBRS recently finalised an in-depth study of the challenges being faced by organisations’ information management teams. The rapid uptake in collaboration tools, plus the explosion of information (in part, stemming from genAI), and the increased attention on cyber and risk, means that more than traditional information management practices is required. Dr. Sweeney can provide details on the new practices and technologies that will help.
