In this webinar from Waterstons, we’ll take a grounded look at the current state of AI—exploring where it delivers value, where it falls short, and the practical steps organisations can take now.
Success with AI isn’t just about technology. It relies on three key foundations: having strong, reliable data; drawing on the expertise of your people, who understand your business best; and putting robust governance in place to build trust and manage risk.
Crucially, it’s not just an IT issue—it’s a strategic topic that needs leadership focus.
Whether you’re cautiously curious or already experimenting with AI, this session will help you ask the right questions, get the right people involved, avoid common mistakes, and make informed decisions about where AI can add real value for your organisation.
This webinar is aimed at IT leaders.

There may be plenty of unknowns when it comes to AI, but one thing is certain: it belongs on your board’s agenda. AI presents a significant opportunity if you’re prepared—and a critical risk if you’re not.
AI adoption is rooted in more than just technology, it’s a strategic topic that needs leadership focus. Waterstons explore how to align your ambitions with your business goals, and the essential foundations —data, people, and trust—to make sure AI delivers value, not noise.
Designed for board level business leaders, this session takes a no-nonsense, buzzword-free approach to AI. You’ll leave with a clear framework to see where AI fits in your organisation, how you can work effectively with your IT leadership, and what it takes to adopt and scale AI responsibly.
This session is part of our Mind the hype: navigating AI event series, designed to help you cut through the noise and take practical, confident steps forward with AI.

Through real-world examples and live exercises, we’ll show you how to turn vague questions into powerful prompts that deliver insights, action plans, and data-driven decisions for your business.

For this extra webinar in February to mark Cyber Scotland Week 2026, we’ll be joined by guest speaker Debra Cairns, Managing Director of Net-Defence.
Over the past two to three years, supply chain (SC) risk has shifted from an emerging to current risk.
Supply chain risk encompasses a wide range of factors, including economic uncertainty, political instability, natural disasters, and supplier failures. However, today we will be exploring one pressing threat: cyber risk within your supply chain.
An attack on your supply chain can cause significant impact to your ability to operate if they are unable to provide products, systems, and services. Equally as damaging is a cybercriminal launching a cyberattack against you through your supply chain.
Identifying these risks can be challenging, as supply chains are often large, complex, and interconnected. Threats can emerge at any point and take many forms, whether they are inherent, introduced, or exploited by cybercriminals looking for vulnerabilities.
Learn:
- What is Supply Chain Risk & Types of Risk (Inherent/Introduced/Exploited)
- Exploited Risk
- Human Risk
- Role of email
- SC Risk Management
