​About the Discussion

​During recent discussions in New York and Tokyo, we repeatedly heard the same challenge:

​Employees have access to AI tools, but organizations still struggle to integrate AI into workflows, processes, and decision-making.

​

​Everyone is talking about AI.

​But inside enterprises, adoption is often much harder than the headlines suggest.

​Across conversations with enterprise teams, AI consultants, founders, and software vendors in New York, one theme keeps appearing:

​The technology is moving faster than organizations can adopt it.

​This roundtable brings together practitioners from different sides of the ecosystem to discuss what is actually happening inside organizations today.

​Topics include:

​• Why enterprise AI adoption is still difficult

​• Common implementation and change-management challenges

​• The gap between software vendors and enterprise users

​• AI workflow discovery and internal education

​• What successful adoption looks like in practice

​• Lessons learned from real deployments
