A practical lens on AI in organisations (w/ The AI Collective)
<Welcome to the next AI Collective Malmö session!
Welcome back after the summer holidays! :D
AI is everywhere.
But how do organizations move from experimentation to real business value?
This session takes a practical look at why and how organizations should use AI - focusing on workforce leverage, adoption, business goals and technology choices.
From Business Goals to AI Value
Most organizations don’t have a shortage of AI tools.
The bigger challenge is knowing where AI can create real value - and how to get the organization to adopt it at scale.
Our starting point is simple:
Start with the business, not the technology.
We’ll explore a three-stage approach:
Business Direction
Where is the organization heading? What are the real problems to solve?AI Adoption
How do people start using AI in their everyday work and discover where it creates value?Technology Choices
Which technology choices actually deliver the outcomes the business needs?
We will discuss how we move beyond isolated AI experiments and create meaningful business impact.
We’ll Explore
How clear business goals can turn AI from cost reduction into real opportunity
Why grassroots AI adoption can create “bright green patches” - while leaving major gaps across the organization
How education, direction and light governance can complement bottom-up adoption
How to connect AI initiatives to the overall business
The opportunity costs and trade-offs behind different technology choices
LLM vs SLM
On-prem vs Cloud
How technology choices should serve the business - rather than the other way around
The grassroot trap
This interactive discussion is lead by:
Fakir Charles
Johan Strömhage
Who Should Attend?
CDOs, CIOs, CTOs
AI and technology leaders
Enterprise architects
Business and transformation leaders
Engineering and product leaders

Anyone involved in AI adoption
Anyone curious about how organizations can turn AI into real value
If you're trying to understand where AI actually belongs in your organization - and how to move from experimentation to impact - this session is for you.
What to Expect?
A practical and interactive session focused on real-world AI adoption.
Rather than starting with the latest AI technology, we’ll start with the questions that matter most:
Where is the business going?
What problems are we trying to solve?
Where can AI create leverage?
And what technology choices actually support those goals?>
As always, food and drink, engaging conversation, and incredible company will all be provided!
