AI Enablement 2027: Where is my ROI?
AI returns are elusive: people are the unlock.
"The bottom line is that the AI story will be decided in the S&P 493, not the Mag 7, and so far, there is no evidence that revenue growth or margins are improving outside the tech sector." (Torsten Slok, Chief Economist, Apollo Global Management, October 2026)
"10% of AI value comes from algorithms, 20% from data and technology, and 70% from people and processes." (BCG, 2026)
Let that sink in for a moment: Intelligence is becoming cheaper and more powerful; the systems that harness that value, human systems, have not.
AI Enablement 2027 is a half-day virtual conference, led by enablement "operators," on what will drive AI value in 2027.
Time and date: 9th of December, 0830 EST.
The challenges clients describe.
"How do we engage and upskill 100,000 employees for AI?"
How do we shift leadership thinking from thinking about quantity of use to quality of use?
"People who summarize meetings notes and review drafts think they "know AI" - failing to comprehend what more is possible."
"Everybody is using unapproved tools, but the people using them are the most proficient and passionate AI users - we aren't sure how to fix this."
"Everybody attended the mandatory webinars. The quality of use didn't change."
AI ENABLEMENT 2027 includes culture, change, talent, organization, and capability - what Paul Gibbons calls People-first AI.
This half-day conference brings together six enablement leaders, operators not consultants, from around the world, and across finance, banking, healthcare, medical devices, manufacturing, law, and government.
Come learn what lessons they learned in 2026, and what strategies they are thinking about for 2027.
