AI, data and the future of decision making

From AI reshaping how work gets done to data enabling smarter decisions, these two Acuity reads bring big ideas to life. Three TED Talks on AI and the future explores shifting jobs, judgement and governance, while Three TED Talks on data for a smarter future highlights how data can drive better business and sustainability outcomes. Together, they prompt reflection on what’s coming and how prepared we are. CA ANZ’s education and CPD offerings help turn insight into action across AI, data, governance and digital capability.

Learning

What an outstanding time of year to be looking for some fantastic learning to engage with. There is just about something for everyone with the Audit and Accounting Confererce, Rural Sector Accounting Seminar, Not for Profit Seminar and of course our local Face to Face Canterbury Conference. I encourage you to review our events tab on our regional hub and get involved.

Have a great week team!

Ngā mihi,
