    Setting the scene: Why AI projects fail, and how to make them work

    Nearly half of AI projects never make it into production. Often because organisations fail to align vision, execution, and orchestration, or because they lack the AI maturity to scale beyond pilots. Jeroen will share a framework to assess your AI maturity and prioritise initiatives that deliver real business results, giving you the clarity to become the informed AI voice in your leadership team.
