When AI models make high-stakes operational calls, the risks compound across organisational strain, public trust and personal liability. The margin for error is shrinking, yet due diligence isn’t keeping pace. **The three questions the table will debate 01 Accountability vs. Automation:** When AI models make high-stakes financial decisions, what is a leader ultimately accountable for? **02 Ownership:** With 30-year liabilities and 3-year executive tenures, who in your organisation is holding the horizon? **03 The Evolution of Risk:** How do leaders manage dynamic, systemic risks without leaving their organisations exposed? ## **The Foresight Dialogues | Financial Services Executive Roundtable** **Time & Date:** 6.30pm, 29 October 2026 **Address:** QT Sydney, 49 Market St, Sydney NSW 2000 **Seats:** Strictly capped to 12 executives **Cost:** Complimentary ## *Early registration is strongly recommended to avoid missing out.* [Secure your seat at The Foresight Dialogues](https://46myx.share.hsforms.com/2GkY6AbnhQSSfkPXoDsNxzw) ![Untitled design - 2026-09-01T210325.933](https://info.liw3.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20-%202026-09-01T210325.933.png?width=80&height=24&name=Untitled%20design%20-%202026-09-01T210325.933.png "Untitled design - 2026-09-01T210325.933") ![Andy & Kathryn 2](https://info.liw3.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Andy%20%26%20Kathryn%202.jpg?width=2000&height=1500&name=Andy%20%26%20Kathryn%202.jpg "Andy & Kathryn 2") #### The Foresight Dialogues Facilitators ![1-Sep-04-2026-04-07-05-0424-AM](https://info.liw3.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1-Sep-04-2026-04-07-05-0424-AM.png?width=350&height=350&name=1-Sep-04-2026-04-07-05-0424-AM.png "1-Sep-04-2026-04-07-05-0424-AM") **Taylor Hawkins Managing Consultant & Foresight Practice Lead Asia Pacific** Taylor is a future-driven leadership expert and policy innovator, working at the intersection of governance, leadership development, and strategic foresight to build a future worth inheriting.

Seventy specialists, more than 300,000 leaders developed, 26 countries, and a client list that runs from local organisations to Fortune 500 companies. Our longest client relationships stretch across decades, which is the measure we pay the most attention to. We believe leadership is what transforms a workplace and produces results that last, and that belief decides what we take on. We work to be high impact and low maintenance: fresh thinking, outcomes you can measure, and a way of working people find energising rather than heavy. Above all, we are a team, and clients tend to describe the relationship as a partnership rather than a supply arrangement.
