OverviewMany comms managers and leaders are finding themselves without a roadmap for AI implementation. Junior roles are changing, rapidly, and pressure to ‘use the tools’ is frequently outpacing strategic or ethical reflection necessary to enable your team to adapt.In this provocative and practical session, Emily Makere Broadmore (Director of Heft Communications) introduces the Heft Framework – an approach they are using to support AI adoption in communications teams with intention, clarity and care. Drawing on Heft’s leadership across government and industry, Emily explores how AI is reshaping job descriptions, team structures, and the unwritten rules of professional development – particularly for young people.This talk will help communications leaders:Understand the philosophical and ethical risks holding their team back from AI useRedesign roles with creative intelligence and human judgment at the centreSupport junior staff as critical thinkers and brand guardians – not content producersImplement internal guardrails that protect trust, quality and organisational voiceThis session offers the strategic perspective -and cultural leadership lens – needed to adopt AI well.

Thank you to Momentum Consulting for generously hosting this event.
