AI Is the Easy Part: Why Transformation Is the Real Challenge

About this session

Organizations around the world are investing heavily in AI, yet many struggle to move beyond pilots, proofs of concept, and isolated use cases. While the spotlight is often on the technology itself, the biggest barriers to success are rarely technical.

In this session, I will explore why AI is often the easiest part of the journey and why true transformation requires organizations to rethink leadership, operating models, processes, skills, and culture. Drawing on real-world experience leading technology and transformation initiatives, I will share practical insights on bridging the gap between AI ambition and business impact.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the organizational challenges that determine AI success, common pitfalls that slow adoption, and actionable strategies for building an AI-ready organization that can turn experimentation into lasting value.
