AI LEADERSHIP

Are you ready to lead your organisation into the next phase of AI adoption? This practical masterclass was created for social impact leaders who want to move forward confidently and responsibly.

This highly-focused two-hour session will take you beyond the AI hype and give you exactly what you need: clarity on the decisions that matter, the confidence to make them, and the practical tools you need to move forward.

You’ll explore key questions like, “What becomes possible when we get this right?” and “What are the risks if we get it wrong or don’t take action?”, and get a clear framework on how to evaluate AI opportunities and lead your team through this change. Via real-world examples, peer learning, and hands-on practice, you’ll be guided through the most vital leadership decisions when it comes to AI adoption and integration.

The masterclass will cover:

1. Your leadership reality check: What is the state of AI in 2025 and how has it changed the game? We’ll discuss the biggest myths, what sets great leaders apart, and some uncomfortable truths about AI in our sector.
2. Strategic choices & critical decisions: What should your focus and response be as a leader? You’ll find out how to prioritise opportunities, allocate resources, and what should drive your decisions.
3. The values-first framework: How do you evaluate AI opportunities against your mission? We’ll look at how to get AI right, how it can go wrong, and how small changes can affect your impact.
4. Building an AI-ready organisation: Get an introduction to AI maturity and find out why it matters, explore results from real-world case studies, and discover key leadership mindsets for AI adoption.
5. Ethics, risks, & long-term implications: We’ll discuss how to balance innovation with accountability, address ethical dilemmas, and look at how to navigate policy, governance, and internal guidelines.
6. Your leadership roadmap: Build momentum with a 90-day action plan and understand what your next three decisions need to be.

The session will be delivered & facilitated by Kaz McGrath, CEO and Founder at PLAI (Purpose Led AI) and a leading expert on AI for nonprofits & fundraisers. Kaz uses her knowledge of AI, strategy, leadership, and change management to ignite deep cultural change in organisations and inspire personal growth to drive impact at every level of an organisation.
