This Month’s Source: 2026 AI Business Predictions (PWC 2026)

Most AI initiatives pay for themselves, but fail to drive actual transformation. Join the AI Briefing to become one of the few front-runners who are able to capture top-line growth by moving past sporadic, ground-up experiments.

The Mission: Focus on the shift from exploratory pilots to a disciplined march to value. We'll use the latest PwC benchmarks to identify the levers required to turn agentic AI into an engine for revenue growth.

📊 The Format:

• 10-Minute Executive Download: A rapid-fire summary of the report’s critical metrics (e.g., the 8x growth in message volume and the rise of non-technical coding).
• Cross-Pollinated Debate: Founders share what they are shipping; Executives share what they are actually deploying (and blocking).
• Operational Reality Check: We’ll discuss the Shadow AI reality: 75% of workers are completing tasks they previously couldn't do. And how IT is scrambling to govern it.
