Ram highlights the impact of peer networking, industry insights, and vendor conversations at ADAPT’s events.
3 MIN Ram Kalyanasundaram Group Technology & Digital Transformation Director Lion Co

“Peer networking has been invaluable, opening up unique perspectives that I can then take back and have further conversations within our own organisations as well.”

The breadth of capability at ADAPT’s Edge events keeps Ram returning year after year.

He highlights the peer connections with senior leaders across industries who are tackling similar challenges in AI adoption, cybersecurity, and governance.

The content and research prepared by ADAPT has been a standout, offering insights that he can bring back to his team at Lion Co, who have found it highly valuable.

Ram also points to the surveys and informal chats as a way to benchmark how other organisations are progressing in areas where Lion may still be developing.

Finally, he sees strong value in the one-to-one vendor meetings and roundtables, creating opportunities to explore solutions and exchange ideas not available in daily operations.

"It was good to know the issues we face are not unique, and that other major organisations are tackling them in similar ways"
