​AI is moving fast, but most organizations are still catching up on what really matters: capability, foundations, and execution. While tools evolve at speed, the real differentiator is whether teams can actually use AI effectively in day-to-day work.

​This fireside chat brings a grounded, practical conversation around what it takes to move from AI experimentation to real adoption at scale. It explores the often overlooked tension between building AI capability and strengthening the underlying data and governance foundations that make it sustainable.

​We will unpack what it means for teams to develop meaningful AI skills in a constantly shifting landscape, and how organizations can build strong data practices without slowing down innovation. The discussion will also challenge some of the assumptions around where effort should go first and what typically becomes the breaking point when adoption accelerates faster than readiness.

​At its core, this session is about one thing:
how to build AI-enabled organizations that don’t just move fast, but move right.
