AI Is Testing the Enterprise: Why the Missing Middle Will Decide Who Wins with Qualcomm VP, Arpad Hevizi

​AI Is Testing the Enterprise: Why the Missing Middle Will Decide Who Wins
Speaker: Arpad Hevizi, VP, Digital Value Creation, Qualcomm

​Most organizations are no longer asking whether AI matters. They have pilots, copilots, innovation teams, executive sponsorship, and growing pressure to show results. The more important question now is whether the enterprise is truly designed to capture AI value at scale.

​This session covers:

• ​The “missing middle” in enterprise AI: the decision and orchestration layer where signals are interpreted, agents are coordinated, workflows are triggered, and governance becomes part of how work happens

• ​Why AI value is shifting from pilots and productivity gains to enterprise redesign

• ​Why ROI must move from hours saved to better and faster decisions

• ​Why trust, domain expertise, and execution intelligence are becoming critical leadership priorities

• ​How AI is moving closer to devices, factories, vehicles, workflows, and real-time decisions, creating new implications for architecture, data, governance, talent, compute, energy, and resilience

​The intended audience takeaway is practical: how leaders can move from AI activity to measurable operating advantage.
