Ben Newell, Geckoboard's VP of Product, on why building your own dashboard with an AI agent looks fast until you need to trust the number. AI has no underlying data model, so getting a metric to come back right, and the same every time, is the hard part. Geckoboard has already done that work.

The "rationality-based, user-centered approach" has been the gold standard in business, product development, and marketing for decades. But it's hitting its limits — and AI is accelerating that reckoning. In this closing keynote from Canvas 26 Tokyo, Yuichi Inobori, Ph.D. reframes the role of the objects and tools we create in sparking human and organisational creativity, through the lens of Ontological Design. As AI — itself an artifact — weaves itself into the fabric of everyday life, what does creativity truly mean for us now? And how should we design the organisations of the future?

AI is taking root differently across every organisation — faster among younger generations in some places, driven top-down by leadership in others, and complicated everywhere by the question of how to balance development speed with cultural change. In this panel from Canvas 26 Tokyo, leaders from three professional services firms come together to share what AI adoption actually looks like when you're running large-scale projects: the hands-on realities, the Miro use cases, and what it takes to make the shift stick across an entire organisation.

Building is happening everywhere. But just because you can build it doesn't mean you should ship it.
