Building a True Human-Digital Workforce
Horizon Leeds, 2 Brewery Wharf, Kendell Street, LS10 1JR Leeds, Leeds, GBNavigating the New AI Operating Model: How Data, Context, and Culture Must Evolve Together.
As part of Leeds Digital Festival, join Nimble, alongside industry partners and guest speakers, for an interactive breakfast session exploring what it really takes to move from AI experimentation to meaningful business adoption.
We’ve moved past the initial hype of Generative AI. Now, businesses face the real challenge: how do you actually integrate AI into your organisation to create a cohesive, collaborative workforce?
This session looks beyond the hype to explore what a Human-Digital Workforce could look like in practice, and why success depends on far more than choosing the right AI tools.
Together, we'll discuss why organisations need to rethink not only their technology, but also the way they manage data, design workflows and prepare their people for a new way of working.What we'll cover
- Data Foundations: Evolving your infrastructure with semantic layers and ontologies to make your data truly agent-ready.
- Engineered Context: The missing layer in most AI strategies—giving your digital agents the specific business context required to execute tasks safely and accurately.
- Cultural Adaptation: Redesigning workflows and preparing your human teams to seamlessly interface with, manage, and trust their new digital colleagues.
Whether you are a technology leader, a strategist, or a transformation professional, this talk will provide you with a practical, systems-level blueprint to stop simply "prompting" and start building a functioning Human-Digital workforce.
