How Enterprises Move from Pilot to Production
Most organizations are experimenting with AI, but very few are seeing meaningful business impact. Pilots stall, tools proliferate, and leaders struggle to translate promise into results. This session breaks down what actually separates organizations that generate real ROI from those stuck in proof of concept theater.
Drawing from enterprise case studies and hands on advisory work that has driven over 25 million in pipeline, Ashley shares how successful teams redesign workflows, decision making, and ownership models to move AI into production. Attendees will learn where AI initiatives most often fail, how to align AI to real business processes, and how to implement AI in a way that scales without overwhelming already stretched teams.
