AI has moved from experiment to strategic imperative. Generative AI and AI agents are transforming how organizations compete, innovate, and deliver value across systems engineering, product management, cybersecurity, and beyond.

The question isn't whether to adopt AIโ€”it's how to do it right.

The difference between AI that transforms your organization and AI that sits unused comes down to one thing: understanding that AI adoption is a sociotechnical challenge.
AI doesn't operate in isolation. It's part of complex ecosystems where human expertise, organizational workflows, culture, and technical infrastructure must work in harmony. When these elements align, AI delivers sustainable competitive advantage. When they don't, even the best technology fails to gain traction.
Join Dr. Suzette Johnson and Dr. Robin Yemanโ€”Technical Fellows, award-winning authors of Industrial DevOps, and transformation leaders with decades of experience implementing AI in mission-critical defense and aerospace environments.
In this interactive session, they share a strategic roadmap for navigating AI adoption through a sociotechnical lensโ€”grounded in real-world experience transforming 150+ programs where precision, safety, and results aren't optional.

What you'll learn:
- How to integrate people, processes, technology, and culture as a unified system for AI success
- Practical strategies for building effective human-AI collaboration and addressing workforce concerns
- Common adoption pitfalls to avoidโ€”from resistance to misaligned incentives
- Lessons from defense and aerospace applied to accelerating AI value in your organization

Whether you're launching your first AI initiative or scaling existing capabilities, this session offers the frameworks and insights to make AI adoption sustainable and impactful.
