AI in Your Business: What’s Holding Leaders Back and How to Fix It

Your competitors are moving on AI, your board is asking about it, and your team is waiting for direction. The problem isn’t knowing that AI matters, it’s knowing where to start, and how to make it stick inside a complex ERP environment like JD Edwards.  

Most AI initiatives stall. Not because the technology fails, but because they’re not anchored to real business outcomes. In this session, ERP-One and Blackbook.ai cut through the noise to address what JDE and ERP leaders are actually dealing with: competitive pressure, compressed margins, and an organization that doesn’t always embrace change.  

We’ll show you how to move past the buzzwords and tie AI directly to the outcomes that matter in your environment, from streamlining procurement and inventory workflows to improving financial close cycles and operations visibility. Whether you’re just getting started or trying to rescue an initiative that lost momentum, you’ll leave with a clear, practical framework and real-world examples of what’s actually working inside businesses like yours.  

 What You’ll Walk Away With 

• A plain-language framework for identifying where AI creates measurable ROI in JDE and ERP environments 
• The most common reasons AI initiatives fail in mid-market businesses and how to sidestep them 
• How to build internal buy-in with a culture that’s skeptical of change  
• Real examples of AI solving business problems: inventory, finance, operations, and more  
• A starting point you can bring back to your team  

  Who Should Attend? 

Operations, finance, and IT leaders running JDE or other ERP platforms who are under pressure to deliver on AI without the luxury of a dedicated innovation team or unlimited budget.
