Turning AI into Business Value — Aligning Technology, Talent, and Infrastructure
Hosted by HP Inc.

What does it take to move from isolated AI initiatives to sustained enterprise impact?
Join this session to discuss:
- Translating AI investments into measurable business outcomes
- Aligning teams (IT, data, business units) to scale AI initiatives effectively
- Balancing in-house and vendors to help accelerate time-to-value and operationalize AI
