Focused on the main stage for executives, decision makers, department leaders, and business managers, this session tackles what most partners won’t: why 95% of AI pilots fail; not from weak models, but from gaps in strategy, integration, and culture. You’ll get a board-ready playbook to move from pilots to P&L, reframe “job replacement” into task automation plus new roles, and see a vendor-neutral value platform that models predicted ROI across industries so you can fund with confidence.

You’ll learn: Five Pillars; Strategy; Integration (systems of record); Human-in-the-Loop; Governance; Value Operating System (scorecards with payback/IRR). Funding discipline: rank use cases by unit economics, risk, and change capacity. People & roles: AgentOps, Exception Orchestrator, Policy Steward with a practical skilling path. 2026 Predictions.
