11:00 am – 12:30 pm  Ensuring AI Readiness in your Next Transformation

This workshop provides strategy and tactics needed to ensure your company is building the core capabilities necessary to be successful with AI into the future. There is no question that AI is here. Some companies are already “all in on AI”. We can learn from these early trailblazers. Most companies are not ready to go “all in on AI. However, we can we shape your next transformation, whether it’s an operating model change, function/process model change or technology change, to ensure your company take vital steps required not just do a single AI project but be ready to do AI into the future.

Transformation that includes AI readiness requirements is broader than even the “typical” transformations. It creates new departments, new jobs, new roles, new functions, and new processes. Functional leaders, GBS leaders, Global Process Owners, IT and Risk all have a part to play in this brave new AI enabled world.
