Menu: Food accommodations available
Roundtable Discussion Questions:
1. The Macro View: The "AI Bubble": There is growing speculation about an impending 'AI bubble.' In your view, are we currently in a hype cycle bubble, and if/when a market correction occurs, how severe will the fallout be for enterprise AI adoption? How are you preparing your strategy for that possibility?
2. Verifiable Business Value: The pressure to prove ROI on generative and traditional AI is intensifying. How are your organizations moving beyond vanity metrics (like pilot usage or time saved) to measure and derive verifiable, quantifiable business value on the balance sheet?
3. Process Integration & Workflow: AI often fails not because of the technology itself, but because it creates friction in human workflows. How are you successfully embedding AI into legacy, non-AI processes so that the automation is genuinely adopted and helpful to the workforce?
4. Change Management & The Human Element: Following up on process integration, when you introduce AI into established workflows, there is naturally pushback or a learning curve. What change management tactics have you found actually work to drive end-user adoption?
5. Pragmatic Governance & Risk: As we embed AI deeper into core business operations, the risk surface expands—from data privacy to model hallucination. What practical governance frameworks are you implementing to mitigate these risks without completely stifling innovation and speed?
6. Balancing Governance with ROI: Often, governance is seen as a bottleneck to value creation. Have any of you found a way to turn AI governance and risk mitigation into a business enabler or a competitive advantage, rather than just a compliance checkbox?
7. Strategic Resilience: If the 'bubble bursts' tomorrow and technology budgets are slashed, what is the one core AI initiative or capability you would protect at all costs, and why?

“We discussed the importance of data centralization for most organizations and the difficulties encountered along the way. We also had an honest conversation about the challenges organizations face with AI governance — ranging from aligning with legal teams to navigating industry, geographic, and risk tolerance differences. Overall, it was another highly collaborative and educational discussion."
“Companies are moving quickly, albeit at varying speeds based on their risk tolerance, to leverage the potential of AI through collaboration and good use case identification. Great ideas – not technology for technology’s sake – build good solutions and drive real business value.”
