About us
We often get asked if the sessions from the Melbourne SAFe meetup are shared via webcam so those in other locations can join. This and our new #suddenlyremote world got us thinking about an online SAFe meetup that everyone could attend..... The result is the SAFe Australia Online Meetup!
We hope to make this a place for SAFe enthusiasts in Australia (and nearby timezones) to talk all things SAFe in a safe remote setting...

Sydney: Beyond the Hype: The Data & Blueprint for AI ROI in 2026
Cliftons Sydney, 13/60 Margaret St, Sydney NSW 2000, Sydney, AUIn person event!
## The Reality Check
90% of organisations are seeing some value from AI, but there is a massive gap between the “experimenters” and the “performers.” Most are stuck in Pilot Purgatory—burning through budgets while boards demand proof of return.
***
## The Session
We’ve bought out from the United States, Laks Srinivasan (CEO, Return on AI Institute) to share with our market the global research the Institute has undertaken and published in Harvard Business Review along with the great AI Native offering for Enterprises from AI-Native by Scaled Agile.
- The Research:
Laks Srinivasan (CEO, Return on AI Institute) breaks down a global study of 1,000+ executives. He’ll share the “Value Gap” data—revealing exactly what distinguishes organizations winning with AI from those just spending money. - The Blueprint:
We’ll dive into the Scaled Agile AI-Native system. This isn’t just about tools; it’s about the AI-Native Foundations and Change Agent and Leading the AI-Native Organisation.
Frameworks that rewire how teams work, from prompt fluency to enterprise-scale workflows and how Executives lead AI Native Enterprises.
