SUMMARY:From Curiosity to Capability: How CIOB Built an AI-Ready Organisation
DESCRIPTION:AI adoption is accelerating across organisations—but for many membership bodies\, the reality is still uncertain. Staff are already experimenting with AI tools\, leadership knows a strategy is needed\, yet few organisations are clear on how to move forward in a structured and responsible way. \nThis practical webinar explores how The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) moved from informal experimentation to a structured\, organisation-wide approach to AI adoption. Join Jenny Watkins\, Director at Intercloud9\, and David Hancox\, Chief Operating Officer at CIOB\, as they share how the organisation assessed its readiness\, built leadership confidence\, and developed a practical framework for purposeful AI adoption. \nDrawing on CIOB’s experience\, this session will explore how membership organisations can move from curiosity to capability—balancing governance\, experimentation\, and long-term strategic value. \nDiscussion Themes: \nFrom Informal Experimentation to Organisational StrategyExplore how CIOB navigated the moment when AI was already being used across the organisation but lacked clear direction or governance. \nUnderstanding Real AI ReadinessLearn what a rigorous readiness assessment revealed about capability gaps—and why confronting them openly helped build leadership and board-level support. \nBuilding Governance Without Killing MomentumDiscover how CIOB developed policies\, governance\, and guardrails that support responsible AI adoption while still encouraging experimentation. \nFrom Reactive to Purposeful AdoptionSee how membership organisations can transition from scattered experimentation to a coordinated AI strategy aligned with mission and long-term value. \nWhat You’ll Take Away: \nYou’ll leave with practical insights into assessing AI readiness\, building governance and capability across teams\, and creating a clear path from informal experimentation to confident\, mission-aligned AI adoption. \nFeatured Speakers: \nJenny WatkinsDirector at Intercloud9\, Jenny works with membership and non-profit organisations on digital strategy\, AI adoption\, income growth\, and large-scale transformation. She has more than 30 years of experience supporting leading UK membership bodies and charities. \nDavid HancoxChief Operating Officer at The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)\, David works with the CEO\, leadership team\, and board to turn the organisation’s strategic vision into effective delivery across finance\, digital\, data and technology\, HR\, and operations.

Join Terri Herrmann\, Chief Marketing Officer at Forj\, and Francisco Opazo\, Vice President of Growth & Community at Membership World\, for an interactive session designed to deliver practical frameworks\, meaningful engagement metrics\, and actionable strategies to turn learning into sustained connection—without overhauling everything at once. \nDiscussion Themes: \nFrom One-Time Events to Continuous ExperienceExplore how to design intentional peer-to-peer connection points that extend learning beyond courses and webinars. \nAssessing Your MaturityIdentify where learning and community integration will drive the greatest impact within your organisation. \nMeasuring What MattersLearn how to track practical community health metrics that signal true engagement—rather than relying on vanity data. \nAligning for Retention & AdvocacyDiscover how to unify internal teams so community initiatives directly support renewals\, revenue\, and long-term member value. \nBuilding the Business CaseConnect engagement strategies to tangible outcomes\, creating a compelling case for sustainable\, community-led growth. \nWhat You’ll Take Away: \nYou’ll leave with a practical framework to evaluate your current approach\, clear engagement metrics to guide decision-making\, and step-by-step actions to turn content into connection—strengthening retention\, advocacy\, and revenue in the process. \nFeatured Speakers: \nTerri HerrmannChief Marketing Officer at Forj\, Terri is a SaaS marketing leader and community-led growth advocate who helps organisations scale both revenue and relationships.
