With featured guest speaker from
AI workers are transforming the way organizations operate, but success requires more than just adopting AI tools. It demands clarity of purpose, a strong data backbone, and a culture ready to embrace change. Without these, most AI initiatives stall before they deliver results.
This session focuses on the practical steps leaders must take to prepare for scalable, AI-enabled impact. We will explore how to treat AI as you would a new hire: defining roles, integrating workflows, and setting guardrails. You will also learn why fragmented data, unclear use cases, and weak governance often derail progress, and what high-performing organizations are doing differently.
Featuring real-world client examples from Point B and insights from our guest speaker at Forrester, this conversation bridges market vision with execution realities.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to build the data readiness that makes AI workers effective.
- Ways to align people, processes, and governance to reduce risk and speed adoption.
- A practical framework for writing the “AI job description” in your organization so pilots succeed and investments pay off.
- How leading companies are using AI as a growth lever—not just a cost-cutting tool.
