Diffusing Agentic AI For Engineering Performance

Join Auckland's top engineering leaders to explore what agentic AI makes possible when it moves beyond individual teams and into the way the whole organisation works, decides and delivers. Over lunch, we'll cover how organisations are turning AI adoption into organisation-wide performance, and what it takes to get there.

ClearPoint is bringing together a group of Auckland’s engineering leaders for a catered lunch on the conditions that let agentic AI spread safely across the whole business rather than stay within a few teams, and the capabilities across culture, ways of working and technology that the organisations getting value from it have in place.

Designed for CTOs and Heads of Engineering who have piloted agentic tools or practices and want them to go further, the session brings together practical insight on where adoption is getting stuck, what has moved it forward elsewhere, and how to convert early gains into performance across the enterprise.

ClearPoint CTO Rob Cleghorn opens on how fast AI and agentic engineering are moving and sets out a structured way through it. CEO Bain Hollister, Chief of Front End Engineering Robin Southgate and Lead Engineer Will Verland then each take one part of that, across culture, ways of working and technology, with examples from their work with enterprise engineering teams across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, before a panel and Q&A with the room.

Together, we'll explore how organisations move from deploying AI to embedding it, and how to run agents safely and at scale as that spreads.

What to expect

  • An insight-packed session for senior engineering leaders, presented by ClearPoint's most experienced people
  • A clear picture of where AI in engineering is heading, and the capabilities across culture, ways of working and technology that let an organisation take it on safely.
  • A working view of the adoption blockers most common across enterprise engineering teams – leadership alignment, ways of working and governance, agent safety and control, measuring return, and skills and culture.
  • Practical perspective on where agentic AI creates the most value across an organisation, and what has to be in place for that to hold
  • Insight into running agents safely at enterprise scale, from sandboxing and gateways through to auditing and cost control
  • A clearer read on where your organisation stands, where the friction is, and where AI can move fastest for you
 

We will review each registration to ensure a focused, high-quality discussion with technology leaders. Your attendance will be confirmed once we send you a confirmation email.

Engineering to the power of AI

As an agentic-first firm, we help organisations build products and services, transform the way software is designed and engineered, and diffuse agentic AI throughout business operations so every team moves faster.

Bring in agentic engineers and have something live in weeks, or extend agentic AI across your whole business. Either way, adopt AI safely with our engineering and architecture capability, so it performs in complex enterprise conditions and keeps performing as the technology moves. Wherever you are, and whatever you're ready for, we engineer the way forward, drawing on nineteen years inside organisations like yours.
