Culture as a competitive advantage
How to bake speed, courage, and discipline into your own ways of working.
The Architecture of Agility
How does a company at the centre of a global shift stay disciplined, courageous, and agile all at once? You’ll sit down with senior leaders to dissect NVIDIA’s internal operating system: a masterclass in decision-making at scale. You’ll look at how they nurture a culture of speed without sacrificing accuracy, and how they empower teams to move decisively in a high-pressure, high-innovation environment where standing still is the only real risk.
From Code to Commercial Reality
Innovation that stays in the lab doesn’t change the world, so the visit moves from the technical to the practical. You’ll explore how NVIDIA applies its AI platform to real-world commercial challenges in complex sectors like healthcare. You’ll see first-hand how AI moves from a theoretical conversation to a tool for deep customer centricity, engagement, and activation.

Last week the Health Services Executive Team and I had the pleasure of visiting Alder Hey Children’s Hospital for a tour and a visit to their Innovation Hub, led by Dr Iain Hennessey and team. It was incredibly impressive and I really enjoyed spending time in another healthcare organisation, seeing and learning about how they are delivering excellence in innovation. The hospital puts patients and their families at the heart of every decision they make and actions they take, making the environment as welcoming as possible, including things like the smell and look of different areas to make the children feel comfortable. They also have no sirens when the ambulances arrive so not to distress any of the patients.
The day was organised by Wavelength in partnership with Alder Hey, Adrian Simpson from Wavelength helped facilitate a great session where we were able to share ideas around patient centricity and innovation and look for ways in which we can continue to develop the healthcare we deliver for our own patients and customers. Huge thank you to the hospital and Wavelength for an amazing day it has certainly inspired us!
I feel grateful, inspired and humbled by the incredible work of Alder Hey Innovation led by Iain Hennessey and his team. Their customer obsession, outside the box thinking and bravery in pushing the boundaries of technology to save the lives of children faster and better is refreshing and inspiring. Aldermore Bank shares a unique connection in the name, which symbolises strength, confidence and determination. I’m really proud to be part of this business and am filled with hope for how we can take and implement learnings from Alder Hey to create more value for our customers.
Alder Hey is one of the best development experiences that I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend this day for leaders and innovation teams who want a fresh perspective on the connection between purpose and innovation.
A completely uplifting and inspiring experience - a radical lesson in how to make innovation part of organisational culture.
