Grant Thornton Workshop and Networking, Thursday 26 February 2026

Bangkok, 26 February 2026 — The Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce (SweCham), in collaboration with Grant Thornton Thailand, successfully hosted the executive workshop Human-Centred Digital Transformation in the Age of AI & Agentic AI at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok. The event brought together senior executives, decision-makers, and business leaders from across functions and industries for an afternoon of insight-driven dialogue, collaborative exercises, and meaningful networking.

The workshop was designed as a practical and highly interactive executive session, moving beyond theory to explore how AI and emerging “agentic AI” technologies can create real enterprise value.

The session was led by Andrew McBean, Partner, Advisory Services – Technology and Digital Services, who framed AI adoption not as a technology race, but as a leadership and organisational challenge. He highlighted the economic imperative facing businesses in Thailand and the region, emphasising that organisations that fail to adapt risk missing significant value opportunities.

Active Engagement & Interactive Workshop

What made the workshop particularly impactful was the high level of attendee engagement. Rather than a lecture-style seminar, the programme was structured around facilitated discussions, peer exchange, and practical breakout sessions.

Throughout the breakout sessions, participants worked in small groups to map out opportunities and openly share their organisations’ challenges. The candid dialogue enabled attendees to benchmark their digital maturity against peers and identify common pain points across industries, creating a dynamic exchange of perspectives among multinational corporations, SMEs, and advisory professionals. The discussions reflected a shared understanding that successful transformation depends not only on tools, but also on culture, communication, and trust. This collaborative format encouraged knowledge-sharing and cross-industry learning, reinforcing the value of the SweCham network.

Following the workshop, guests continued the conversation during a relaxed networking reception. Over cocktails and refreshments, participants deepened discussions initiated during the sessions, explored potential collaborations, and strengthened connections within the Thai-Swedish and wider international business community.

This workshop exemplified SweCham’s commitment to facilitating relevant, forward-thinking discussions that equip members with actionable insights. The event delivered both strategic perspective and practical value.

SweCham would like to extend its sincere appreciation to Grant Thornton Thailand and our speaker, Andrew McBean, for this valuable collaboration. We are also grateful to all participants for their active engagement and contributions to making this workshop a successful and thought-provoking event.
