AI Tavolata: From Pilots to Scale - Why AI Adoption Is a Leadership Challenge

​AI Tavolata: From Pilots to Scale - Why AI Adoption Is a Leadership Challenge

​Hosted by alpina AI Community

​Join us for the next edition of the AI Tavolata. This is our intimate lunch series designed to bridge the gap between AI theory and real-world practice. We gather 20 professionals for a two-course Italian lunch at SHED Zug to discuss the frontier of technology without the noise of a traditional conference.

​The Topic

​What does it actually take to move an organisation from first AI experiments to agentic AI in production? We will explore why the decisive factors are rarely technical — and what it takes to bring an entire organisation along, especially in a regulated industry.

​The Impulse

​Christophe Makni (Head of Business Operations, Migros Bank) shares direct insights from Migros Bank's journey — from early data and generative AI initiatives to scaling agentic AI. Drawing on over two decades of experience in digital transformation, lean agile leadership and financial services, he unpacks why successful AI adoption is fundamentally a leadership and cultural challenge rather than just a technical one.

​You will discover

​Why leadership buy-in and a learning culture decide the outcome long before the technology does

​What lean agile leadership contributes to an AI transformation inside a regulated environment
