1:45 PM Workshop K: Prioritizing High-Value AI Use Cases

As AI capabilities continue to evolve at unprecedented speed, organizations face a growing challenge: deciding what to invest in, what to scale, and what to wait for. Technologies that appear highly differentiated today can quickly become embedded platform capabilities tomorrow, making it increasingly difficult to identify where long-term value will be created.

Drawing on lessons learned from scaling AI initiatives beyond the pilot phase, Jonathan explores how organizations can identify high-value opportunities, invest in the right foundations, and build an AI strategy that remains relevant as technologies, business priorities, and market expectations continue to evolve.

• Build a framework for identifying and prioritizing AI opportunities with the greatest business value.

• Understand how to distinguish between short-term technology trends and long-term strategic investments.

• Learn how to balance experimentation, innovation, and execution while creating the foundations required for AI at scale.

TAKEAWAY:

Build a clear framework for comparing AI opportunities, identifying where the greatest long-term value lies, and making more confident decisions about what to invest in now, scale next or wait for.
