Agenda Day 2

3:40 PM STRATEGIZING FOR AI

In today’s business landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a critical tool for driving innovation and growth. However, many companies make the mistake of treating AI as a standalone strategy rather than an enabler of broader strategic objectives. This approach can lead to missed opportunities and wasted resources.

In this talk, explore the concept of integrating AI into strategic planning, emphasizing its role as a powerful enabler that can enhance corporate, business, and functional strategies. By aligning AI initiatives with broader business goals, companies can drive sustainable growth and competitive advantage. Discuss practical strategies for integrating AI into existing strategic frameworks, avoiding the pitfalls of ‘AI washing’ and ensuring that AI investments deliver meaningful outcomes. Join us to learn how to leverage AI as a strategic enabler and move beyond the limitations of a standalone AI strategy.

  • Discover how to transform your business strategy with AI.
  • Avoid the pitfalls of ‘AI washing’ and superficial implementations.
  • Learn from real-world case studies and best practices.
