The AI execution gap is widening. Which side of it are you on?
16
3:00 PM - 3:45 PM
88% of enterprises are using AI. Only 6% are seeing meaningful business impact from it. This session is about what that 6% is doing differently.
The question is no longer whether to adopt AI. It's whether your organisation is building foundations to move fast without losing control, or quietly accumulating debt that will slow you down later.
This Impact Talks panel brings together leaders from McKinsey & Company, Sun Life, and Nearform with production stories from regulated industries where the bar for getting it right is highest.
What you'll take away
- How leading companies win with technology and AI
- Why moving fast and maintaining control aren't mutually exclusive
- The governance, data and delivery decisions that separate leaders from the rest
- How to start with the right problem, prove value quickly and scale to production
Why attend?
Because the gap between organisations experimenting with AI and those engineering it into production is already compounding. This session is designed for the leaders who want to be on the right side of it.
