"AI is a team sport"
Gianpaolo Barozzi
CTO, Cisco
AI investments are soaring year on year, yet many initiatives struggle to scale beyond pilot stages. And though there’s huge value on the table for those that get it right, today only 5% of organisations have captured the anticipated value from AI (BCG 2025).
But while technical hurdles like siloed data and outdated infrastructure are often blamed, the true challenge lies in holistically integrating AI across people, processes, and platforms. And that’s a gap that 79% of organisations have failed to address, with only 21% redesigning workflows to properly support AI adoption (McKinsey 2025).
As the AI era unfolds, how will you prioritise the most impactful use cases that unlock real efficiencies and turn your AI vision into measurable value across your organisation?
