Want to guarantee your AI initiatives are great boardroom presentations but don't actually work? This talk explores the most reliable ways to waste time, money, and resources while building AI strategies. One proven method? Cultivate the perfect disconnect between those building AI solutions and the executives charting the strategic direction.

For business leaders, navigating the AI space is overwhelming. There's a sea of advice on how to allocate resources, hire and execute on AI, but much of it comes from sources that aren't hands-on with the technology. Without practical experience, it's challenging to separate fact from fiction and make informed decisions. On the flip side, AI practitioners who are in the trenches often struggle to communicate their knowledge in a way that resonates with executives. They tend to think and speak in technical terms, which can be off-putting or confusing for those focused on business outcomes.
After showing you common failure modes, Hamel and Greg will discuss how to overcome and avoid them by drawing on their experience helping 30+ companies develop and execute successful AI projects.
