Agile+DTC: In Person - Enterprise AI Adoption: Where Does It Break Down?
720 S Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO, USIn Person Event:
Galleria Office Towers
720 S Colorado Blvd #192A
Glendale, CO 80246Enterprise AI Adoption: Where Does It Break Down?
Description:
While first hand accounts of AI adoption breakdowns are very helpful, this month we are taking a different approach. Our speaker, Herb Blecher, will take a data driven analytical view of what companies are experiening today in adopting AI.Drawing on recent research from his company EMA, Herb has identified clear patterns of when adoption breaks down due to systems misunderstanding the business or teams skipping or scattering the foundations, producing results no one can explain.
Herb Blecher will be sharing this fresh research with us, examining these failure points and the practical steps teams can take to validate decisions, control actions, and expand AI use with confidence.
With these practical insights, you will walk away armed with information to flatten the learning curve in your companies AI journey.
Your Speaker:
Herb leads the Data and Analytics practice at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). His research examines how enterprises architect, govern, and operationalize data platforms to drive business outcomes, with particular focus on AI/ML platforms, data observability, analytics modernization, and data integration.
Herb has been a data and analytics practitioner in financial services and data product development for more than two decades. He directed national data programs for the U.S. Treasury and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, built and managed large-scale data platforms covering 80% of U.S. mortgages, and developed analyses relied on by federal regulators and cited in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and CNBC.Schedule:

About the Human-Centered AI group:
Navigate AI's Impact — Without the Hype
For busy software and product leaders, staying ahead of AI means more than chasing tools. Our monthly AI Special Interest Group cuts through the noise to explore what actually matters: how AI is reshaping collaboration, product strategy, leadership, and organizational change.This isn't a technical meetup. We skip the algorithms and implementation details to focus on the human systems that determine whether AI adoption succeeds or fails — collaborative learning, strategic thinking, ethical design, cross-functional alignment, and adaptive leadership.
What to expect: Each session features an expert speaker, small-group discussions, and practical takeaways you can use immediately.
Connect with experienced peers who share your challenges. Leave with new ways to think, not just tools to buy. Build the confidence to lead responsibly through uncertainty.Our sponsors
Food: Currently looking for food sponsors. Please contact us if you're interested in reaching some of our 2500+ Agile Denver members. More information here.

Westminster, CO 80234Standups, Stickies, and Shenanigans - round 2
RSVP here:
HerePresentation Details:
Agile is better when we talk about what’s actually happening—not just what the framework says should happen.
Standups, Stickies, and Shenanigans is a night for people who work in Agile, product, delivery, leadership, and everything in between and beyond. The night will be driven entirely by the people in the room.
Come to network, share a story, ask a question, or just listen.
The Stage Is Yours
We’re creating a space where you can step up and share what’s on your mind.
Got a team challenge you’re wrestling with?
Tried something that worked surprisingly well?
Learned something the hard way?
Have a hot take on Agile, Leadership, Facilitation etc?
Want to share a lesson, a war story, or a question with the community?
Grab the mic.
You can share, lead a conversation, ask the group for ideas, or simply bring a topic you’d like to explore. And if you’d rather sit back and listen, that’s absolutely welcome too.
What to Expect- 🤝 Networking with other Agile, product, and delivery professionals
- 🎤 Open stage conversations where community members can share ideas, experiences, and challenges
- 💬 Real-world discussion about what’s working—and what definitely isn't
- 🧠 Peer learning from people who are actually doing the work
- 🍻 Good conversation, questionable Agile jokes, and a few war stories
Whether you're new to Agile, a seasoned practitioner, or somewhere in between, come connect with the community, learn from each other, and maybe leave with a new idea—or a new person in your network.
Bring your curiosity. Bring your questions. And if you want to take the stage, bring a story.Schedule:
