SSF UK is pleased to announce that David Coxon, Solutions Strategist at Cogna, will feature as the guest speaker at our upcoming Digital & Operational Excellence Network Event, taking place on 11th March 2026 at member organisation Skipton Building Society.
David will explore how AI can fundamentally reshape that reality. By taking on routine, time-consuming activities, AI enables people to focus on work that requires judgment, problem-solving and human insight. AI becomes an enabler, creating capacity, improving accuracy and freeing teams to contribute at a higher level. This interactive session will give you a practical understanding of how AI can strengthen performance, elevate capability and empower your teams to do more of the work they were ultimately hired to do.
David helps organisations close the gap between complex operations and practical, scalable digital solutions. At Cogna, he partners with companies across utilities, manufacturing and logistics to design and deliver custom software that streamlines processes, increases visibility and reduces manual effort through the smart use of AI.
Working end‑to‑end, from discovery through to delivery, David collaborates closely with operational teams and front‑line workers to ensure each solution directly supports how people work and delivers measurable impact for the business.
Prior to joining Cogna, David spent six years at Newton Europe leading digital and operational transformation programmes across Government, Healthcare, Retail and Logistics.
We look forward to welcoming our members to what promises to be an insightful and forward‑thinking session with David.
