Exclusive Event: Join us at Fortnum & Mason
Discover how to align the key functions of your organisation to improve execution, performance and growth.
Join Verostone at Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly for an exclusive, complimentary evening of wine tasting, networking and discussion, exploring what it takes to build a truly high-performing organisation.
Date: Tuesday, 3 November 2026, 18:30 – 21:30
Location: Fortnum & Mason, 181 Piccadilly, London W1A 1ER
Setting an ambitious business strategy is one thing. Creating an organisation capable of consistently executing it is a different matter.
At our exclusive wine-tasting event at Fortnum & Mason, we’ll explore how organisations can close that gap – connecting strategy, finance, operations, people, process and technology to create the conditions for sustained business performance improvement.
You’ll gain insight into:
- Turning strategy into execution: Translate strategic objectives into clearer priorities, decisions and actions across the organisation.
- Stronger organisational alignment: See how leadership, finance and operations can work around shared objectives rather than competing priorities.
- Better, faster decision-making: Understand how improved information, accountability and visibility help leaders decide with more confidence.
- Greater agility and efficiency: Remove unnecessary complexity and respond to change without sacrificing control.
- Mitigating financial and business risk: Strengthen controls, processes and audit readiness while freeing leaders from period-end fire drills.
- Technology with purpose: Explore where data, automation and AI can genuinely improve business outcomes, without technology itself becoming the strategy.

Wine tasting and networking
A curated wine tasting, an audience Q&A and plenty of time to network with fellow guests.
Expert-led panel discussion
What separates organisations that execute their strategy well from those that struggle? Our facilitated discussion brings together Verostone, senior business leaders and invited contributors to explore the practical challenges of improving organisational performance, including the impact of AI on business and financial operations.
Topics we’ll explore
- From ambition to execution: Where does performance get lost between leadership intent and day-to-day delivery?
- Creating organisational alignment: How can finance, operations and leadership work around the same priorities?
- The changing role of finance: What contribution should finance make to wider organisational performance?
- Process before technology: When is changing the process or operating model more important than implementing another system?
- Using AI intelligently: How can leaders exploit data and AI without confusing new tools with genuine transformation?
- Continuous optimisation: What happens after the transformation programme ends, and how do organisations sustain improvement?
