Digital61 Events, Sydney

From banned to board priority: the Landcom AI story

Two years ago Landcom banned generative AI outright. Today it is a board priority, with Claude deployed across the organisation. Oliver Sebastian, Chief Information Officer at Landcom, walks through how that reversal actually happened.

What Oliver will actually cover

Not the strategy deck version. Three questions the room keeps coming back to:

  1. What moved the board from no to yes. The risk case that changed minds, and who had to own it.
  2. How you govern what is already in the building. The tools people are using whether or not anyone approved them.
  3. How he would sequence it if he started again on Monday. The guardrails that made it defensible, and the parts he would do differently.

Why this room

  • No vendor presentations
  • Chatham House rules
  • One seat per organisation
  • Seated breakfast provided

Digital61 events are small, invitation led sessions for the people accountable for critical digital environments. No panels and no product pitch. One organisation, one honest account of what they did, what it cost them, and what they would change.
