Unleashing global teamwork: Lessons in the power of AI and how to move beyond th
Details
Hot off the press from presenting in California at Atlassian's Team 26 event where it was received as "The best session all week" by several attendees...
As AI becomes an increasingly important part of modern teamwork, organisations are rethinking how people, processes, and technology come together to deliver better outcomes at scale. In this session, Kit will explore how teams are using AI-powered ways of working to connect distributed teams, streamline complex work, and move faster from ideas to execution.
Through practical, real-world examples drawn from large organisations and transformation programs, we’ll look at how AI is being applied across strategy, delivery, and operations — from reducing manual effort and improving decision-making, to enabling better collaboration across time zones, functions, and business units. You’ll hear what’s worked, what hasn’t, and some of the cultural and organisational shifts that often emerge along the way.
Whether you’re just starting to experiment with AI or already scaling it across your organisation, you’ll leave with a grounded view of what “AI-powered teamwork” looks like in practice — and ideas you can apply within your own teams.
Note: If you arrive after 6pm, please call Lucy (the Robert Half Sales Support who will be there on the evening) on 0478900812 so she can let you in

Irina Mosina, Atlassian Community Champion
Hi there, I'm a veteran Atlassian event attendee and host.
As Platinum Solution Partners, since 2009, we have helped our customers become community leaders and provided all the support required to run successful events in Wellington, Christchurch, and Auckland.
I have built and led our Consultancy and Solutions practice and helped numerous organisations across many sectors and verticals to get the best out of their Atlassian stack.
I'm one of the first Authorised Training instructors awarded that badge in New Zealand, and we have consistently been selected as Training Partner for many years. I have trained hundreds of Atlassian users to become more confident, proficient and effective at their day jobs while using Jira, Confluence and other Atlassian tools.
I know that I have a massive amount of knowledge, experience and insights and I can't wait to share it with the wider Atlassian community and join forces with other Community Leaders out there!
Chrissy Clements, Atlassian Community Champion
Hi, I’m Chrissy!
I’ve spent over 20 years in IT, with the last 15 focused on service management. I’m an ITIL® Ambassador, Strategic Leader, Atlassian Champion, and someone who genuinely enjoys untangling complexity to help teams work smarter.
I’m all about making service delivery sustainable, practical, and actually useful, not just ticking boxes. Always happy to chat about JSM, product-led service thinking, or anything that helps people do their best work.
Also, a proud slave to my Samoyed, who keeps me humble and covered in fur.
