Most of us have used ChatGPT, Claude, CoPilot or one of the many AI platforms.  

Yet few of us really understand how to integrate AI into our organizations so that we get maximum benefits with the fewest possible disruptions.

Meet Dr. Michael Kollo,  Chief of AI Transformation at Qualitas and author of "Future-Ready with Generative AI".

 He spent over 20 years in quantitative finance at BlackRock, Fidelity, and AXA before pivoting to help organisations navigate AI transformation. 

Michael has delivered AI programs to ANZ (4,000 staff), Macquarie, IFM Investors, and HESTA. 

He holds a PhD from the London School of Economics and hosts the Curious Quant podcast 

On this episode  of a Seat at The Table Mike will be discussing

  • Why AI transformation is fundamentally a mindset challenge, not a tools challenge.
  • How the patterns he learned as a quantitative analyst during the 2008 financial crisis help him see through today’s AI hype.
  • How language-based AI is different from previous automation, and why that changes the way leaders need to think about organizational design and human roles.
  • How to help teams adapt to AI without creating panic or paralysis.


So let’s sit down with Mike and get an insider’s view of how to successfully bring AI into our organizations.
