From AI Proof of Concepts to Proven Value

There has never been a megatrend as transformative as AI. 2023 unlocked new possibilities, 2024 brought new proof of concepts and 2025 was the year to prove the ROI and business value generation of AI. As CIOs and CISOs pivot from proof of concept to driving value, what are the key action areas to ensure success?
Join this session to discuss:
- Adopting lean approach to transformation that starts small and scales quickly to value
- Weaving AI into end-to-end processes without creating new silos
- Balancing market, organizational, and stakeholder pressures in the roadmap to business outcomes
