In-Person Executive Breakfast
AI is only as safe as your Microsoft 365 Governance
Join a private breakfast in London for senior IT leaders preparing their Microsoft 365 environments for secure, confident AI adoption. In a small, peer-led setting, we’ll discuss how UK enterprise teams can regain control before risk, cost, and compliance pressure scale.
Why control, security, and cost discipline define AI success
AI is already being used across Microsoft 365 – often faster than governance can keep up. For many IT leaders, that means AI is surfacing oversharing, unclear permissions, compliance gaps, and rising storage and licensing costs they’re now accountable for, without having full control. We’re bringing together a small group of senior IT leaders from regulated UK enterprises, including the Global Head of AI & Productivity at NXP Semiconductors, Andrei Negrut, to discuss:
- What AI is actually exposing today in real Microsoft 365 environments
- Where the biggest governance, security, and cost risks are emerging
- How organisations are regaining control of M365 before scaling AI, not after it becomes a problem
This is a peer‑led, closed‑door (Chatham House Rules) conversation focused on shared insight for IT leaders preparing their Microsoft 365 environment for safe, confident AI adoption.

Agenda
Introduction: AI Didn’t Create the Problem – It Exposed It
This introductory session explores how AI tools like Copilot are exposing existing Microsoft 365 governance gaps, such as oversharing, permission sprawl, audit risks, and rising costs, showing this isn’t an AI problem but a control issue. Danijel reframes AI readiness around governance, highlighting the need to enable stronger control to secure adoption and assess exposure.
Panel Discussion: What AI Is Really Exposing in Enterprise M365 Environments
This expert panel (including the Global Head of AI & Productivity at NXP Semiconductors, Andrei Negrut) will explore the Microsoft 365 governance challenges and pressures organisations face, highlighting common issues that many teams are already experiencing. They will discuss common blind spots and AI challenges that are widespread but do not need to be faced alone.
Customer Spotlight: Regaining Control Before AI Scales
We will explore how strengthening Microsoft 365 governance, focusing on visibility, control, reduced exposure, and predictable costs laid the foundation for a successful AI rollout. We'll highlight how shifting from reactive to continuous governance improved confidence in scaling AI safely.
Closing Remarks
AI is exposing existing governance gaps, and strong control and cost discipline are essential for secure, sustainable adoption. The next steps involve assessing risk, cost, and control, identifying quick wins, and prioritizing governance gaps before scaling AI.
