HR Leaders Roundtable with Bates Wells: AI in Cautious Organisations

Professional services firms are navigating AI differently, and for good reason. Regulatory exposure, client confidentiality, and partnership structures that resist top-down mandates all raise the stakes. And yet change is already happening, often faster than formal governance has caught up.

Join us for a breakfast roundtable, hosted with our partners at Bates Wells. Your hosts are Tom Jewell, Partnership Director at Instant Impact, and Scott Sullivan, HRD at Bates Wells - who'll be leading the conversation alongside a small group of senior HR and People leaders from across professional services.

This isn't a conversation about AI as a technology. It's about judgement, influence, and pace. How do you build momentum where consensus takes time? What's genuinely slowing organisations down - risk, capability, trust, or leadership attention? And what are people actually doing in practice, before it becomes official?

Off the record. No panels. Just an honest peer conversation over coffee and breakfast.
