Separate AI reality from hype and focus investments on sustainable value creation
Understand why AI access and adoption do not automatically translate into business impact
Learn what leading CEOs and boards are doing differently to prepare for AI at scale
Lots of money has been spent on AI, from building and buying solutions to funding pilots, deployments and production initiatives. Yet access has not resulted in adoption, and adoption has not resulted in impact, particularly measurable business and financial value. As organizations accelerate their AI investments, traditional fast-follower strategies are becoming obsolete.
In this session, Gartner shares the inconvenient truths emerging from interviews with chairpersons and CEOs from organizations including IBM, Accenture, Tata Group and PwC. Explore what it takes to move from being ready to fail to being ready to scale, and learn the leadership, operating model and organizational shifts required to turn AI investments into sustained business value.
