Unleashing Global Teamwork: Lessons in the power of AI beyond the shiny!

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.

Key takeaways

• Practical examples of how organisations are using AI to improve collaboration, coordination, and delivery across distributed teams.
• Common patterns, practices, and anti-patterns that emerge when scaling AI-enabled ways of working in complex environments.
• Actionable ideas for introducing AI into everyday teamwork in a way that creates measurable value without adding unnecessary complexity.
