The AI Implementation Dilemma: From Costly Experiments to Competitive Advantage

Thursday, December 11th | 3:00 PM -4:00 PM  ET

The mandate from the C-suite is clear: "We need an AI strategy." For senior technology leaders, the pressure to deliver is immense, and the landscape of agentic AI and emerging models feels eerily familiar—a direct echo of the Big Data hype cycle that left many organizations with costly, underperforming projects. How do you navigate the intense pressure to innovate while ensuring your significant investments today don't become the legacy burdens of tomorrow?

Join a select group of your peers for an exclusive, non-sales roundtable discussion designed for senior technology leaders tasked with turning AI hype into tangible business outcomes. This is not another webinar about the "art of the possible." It's a candid, strategic conversation focused on the real-world challenges of implementation, cost control, and maximizing return on investment.

Together, we will tackle: 

• The ROI Imperative: How do you shift the focus from costly, technology-led experiments to initiatives that solve specific business problems and deliver measurable value?
• Uncovering the Hidden Costs: Beyond the obvious expenses of GPUs and specialized talent, where are the true operational costs emerging in data preparation, legacy system integration, and organizational friction?
• Closing the Lab-to-Live Gap: Why do so many promising proofs-of-concept fail on the journey to production? We'll explore the strategic and cultural hurdles that must be overcome.
• The Data Differentiator: In a world where AI models are increasingly commoditized, how do you build the agile, scalable data foundation required to leverage your unique, proprietary data as the ultimate competitive advantage?
