This panel discussion explores how boards are evolving their approaches to AI, driving value creation while maintaining governance. Attendees will learn strategic frameworks that support sustainable AI adoption across enterprises.

The era of AI experimentation is over. Success now depends on scaling initiatives across the enterprise, but for most enterprises, the path to adoption has been anything but smooth. Instead of transformation, AI has created friction between IT and business teams, stalled initiatives, and exposed deeper organizational misalignment. New research from Writer underscores just how severe this disconnect is: 42% of C-suite executives say the process of adopting generative AI is tearing their company apart. 

With agentic AI now in play, enterprises face a critical crossroads: address these challenges head-on or risk failing behind. In this session, Brian O’Reilly will unpack insights from Generative AI Adoption in the Enterprise, breaking down the biggest barriers organizations face and highlight what the most successful companies are doing differently. From setting a bold AI strategy to rebuilding workflows and driving IT-business collaboration, this session will provide a clear blueprint for scaling agentic AI across the enterprise.
