From pilot to production: How scaling companies are actually making AI work

About the event

AI is now a business priority for scaling companies, but turning investment into measurable impact is proving harder than expected. While many businesses have adopted AI tools, far fewer have successfully embedded AI across teams, workflows and operations. So what separates the companies driving real ROI from those stuck in “AI prototype purgatory”? As businesses race to scale AI, many are discovering the challenge is not just the technology itself, but the fragmented content, workflows and governance structures underneath it. From overcoming fragmented systems and governance challenges to building the right foundations for long-term impact, efficiency and growth, this conversation will unpack what it actually takes to make AI work at scale, with practical lessons from companies already making it happen
