Speed is everything in today's rapidly changing business environment. Today's most crucial metric is time-to-value; how can businesses turn their ideas and needs into working solutions rapidly. What’s essential, is that the business management drives the development instead of delegating it to IT department or for external consultants.
In this session you will discover how to anyone can be designer future business with the help of generative AI. What was earlier done in months, can now done in days or even hours.
In the session, you will see live demos, learn methodologies best practices how business management and IT can determine the most important business capabilities and match the best-fit technologies to meet the business needs - all with generative AI. The journey starts from the business strategy and ends to process design, concrete user journeys, workflows and AI use cases.
Even more, in the session you will realize how to take the business design into reality in a way that the business management truly owns their transformation - all the way to the value realization instead of monitoring it from the distance.

Is your organization's AI factory up and running? How to optimize operating model for AI development
Deploying AI inside an organization is not a one-time effort but a continuous journey. Being able to minimize time-to-value in AI development requires new ways of working - the traditional operating models do not apply with AI.
To be able to design business-driven AI use cases, prioritize the most beneficial from the business perspective, implement the use cases rapidly and continuously develop the AI use cases further, a common operating model is a must. The operating model for AI development calls for clear flow of activities, roles & responsibilities, guidelines and principles as well as governance structure.
In this session I will introduce the ideas and approaches into defining an optimal operating model for AI development. I call it the AI factory that comes with standardize way of working and the key roles that are needed to run development from business design into continuous development phase.
Target audience; C-level executives and business leaders, enterprise architects, AI project managers
The session duration can vary from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. The session can be run either as a presentation / keynote or as an interactive facilitated discussion.
