AI That Ships: Hard Truths and Smart Moves from the Front Lines
Details
Most AI projects never leave the whiteboard.
Too much hype. Not enough clarity. And zero alignment with what decision-makers actually need to hear.
This session is about what actually works.
Join us for a tactical, no-fluff conversation on how to move AI initiatives from idea to implementation and what gets in the way. We’ll hear from leaders who’ve been in the trenches of AI strategy, business case building, and cross-functional delivery, sharing hard-won insights.
You’ll learn:
- What makes an AI business case credible to leadership
- How teams navigate alignment, buy-in, and blockers
Featuring:
- Karen Taylor Crowe, Chief Strategist, Aviina Consulting
- Michael Stratta, CEO, Arcalea
- TBC
