A practical, skills-focussed session exploring how AI is reshaping roles across financial services and what you can do now to stay ahead.

This webinar will provide a realistic view on AI adoption, why AI is best understood as augmentation rather than replacement and what AI literacy means in our day-to-day roles. It will also cover practical steps you can take to build confidence, strengthen human skills and commit to continuous learning.

We will be joined by Rory Steele, Head of Training and Adoption, ALX Training at BDO. Rory brings a distinctive combination of experience as both an educator and technologist, with a career focused on the intersection of learning, innovation and business change. He is known for making complex digital and AI concepts accessible, cutting through jargon and hype to provide practical, real-world insight. His clear and engaging approach helps professionals and organisations build understanding, confidence and capability.

The session will highlight the shared responsibility for capability building: employers creating the right environment for development and employees taking ownership of their upskilling journey.
