Building an AI-enabled Organization: A Leadership Conversation

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how the Government of Canada works and delivers services. But moving from experimentation to meaningful, measurable results is not without challenges.

Join us for a candid conversation with Zepporah Toh, Senior Director, Enterprise Artificial Intelligence at Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), as she shares practical insights and lessons learned from leading the government-wide rollout of GCtranslate and advancing AI strategy and delivery through PSPC’s AI Driven Excellence (AIDE) Program.

In this session, we will explore:

  • What it takes to move from AI pilots to enterprise-wide deployment
  • The critical role of executive leadership in driving AI adoption and organizational change
  • Practical approaches to building an AI-enabled workforce
  • Lessons learned from deploying AI solutions across government

This is an interactive leadership conversation, not a traditional presentation. Zepporah will share her experiences and practical insights, followed by an open discussion where participants can ask questions, exchange perspectives and explore challenges and opportunities across departments and agencies.

Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or looking to scale existing initiatives, join the conversation and explore what it takes to turn AI ambition into measurable results.
