Justice Can’t Wait - Closing the gap between CJS ambition and operational reality
CGI is proud to be sponsoring and holding a conference session at Modernising Justice 2026 at the QEII Centre in London. The unique, annual event, which is free for public sector delegates, brings together the entire justice system, from arrest through to release.
Across policing, courts, prosecution and probation, organisations continue to face increasing operational pressure, fragmented processes and growing administrative burden. Whilst long-term ambitions for the Criminal Justice System continue to evolve, many of the challenges facing frontline services are immediate.
At this year’s event, CGI will host a featured panel session exploring how organisations can move from ambition to action - and where AI and emerging technologies can genuinely help simplify complexity, reduce friction and support better-informed operational decision-making whilst remaining firmly human-led.
Featured panel session: Justice Can’t Wait 12:00 – 12:45
A practical discussion on operational reality, emerging technology and what can be done now to support better outcomes across the justice system.
The session will bring together perspectives from across the sector to explore:
- The operational challenges facing justice organisations today
- Why good ideas can be difficult to scale across complex systems
- Where AI can genuinely support operational effectiveness
Speakers
- Craig Robb - Deputy Director and Crime Live Service Owner, HMCTS
