Insights from our recent webinar with GovNews and IBM: "From AI Strategy to Scaled Deployment: Delivering Productivity Gains Now"

The gap between AI experimentation and real-world impact is the defining challenge facing public sector organisations today. Most have moved past the initial excitement. Many have run pilots. But the question that keeps surfacing in boardrooms and steering groups alike is deceptively simple: how do we make this work at scale?

That was the focus of our recent webinar, delivered in partnership with GovNews and IBM, where digital and security leaders from the DWP, Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex, and Leeds City Council joined Celerity's own Innovation Lead, Simon Kofkine Hanson, and IBM's Matt Newton to share what's actually working, and what's getting in the way.

If you missed it, you can watch the full session on demand. But here are the key takeaways worth carrying into your own AI strategy.
