Why attend

Planning is becoming something bigger than planning. When AI agents can build the models, run the analysis, and surface the trade-offs, planning stops being a calendar event and becomes the way a company operates - a continuous loop between strategy, decisions, and execution. That shift is happening now, and the organisations that move early will set the pace for everyone else.

Catalyst is an afternoon inside that shift. We will set out our vision for the next operating model of business planning. You'll see it running live - agents building models, surfacing insights, and moving work forward in real time. And you'll hear from leaders including Goodbaby International's Cem Yarligas on how they're preparing their teams, systems, and careers for what comes next.

By the end of the afternoon, you'll have seen the new model working, heard how your peers are approaching it, and formed a clear view of what it means for your own organization - what to move on now, and what to build towards.
