AI has captured imaginations and headlines alike. At the Tech Leadership Conference we explored what is extraordinarily game changing about AI. We gathered a fantastic group of experts with hands-on experience in building AI strategies, products or AI governance systems. It was very enriching discussing with Elisabeth L’Orange Johann Dornbach Swantje Kowarsch Martin Grund Thora Markert
This panel challenged the notion that AI alone is a silver bullet. We talked about how companies rethink business models, redesign services, and reinvent operations with AI at their core and why even the smartest AI needs the right talent, mindsets and leadership to deliver real value.
Crucial questions we focused on:
- Where is AI actually creating business value today? We’re talking real results here—whether it’s revenue growth, cost savings, or improved speed to market.
- AI use cases are the icing on the cake. What needs to change in organisations concerning AI governance to actually bake the cake? “ Let’s talk data governance, infrastructure, and operating models
- Many other technologies received the label “game changer”. What is so extraordinary game changing about AI when it comes to creating business value?
- Culture Eats AI for Breakfast – Even the best tech won’t help if your people aren’t on board. What are some cultural blockers you see again and again that kill AI adoption? And what does it really take—beyond vision decks—to create a leap forward in mindset and behavior?
- Talent, Jobs & AI’s Productivity Paradox – We’re seeing amazing productivity gains—but also real disruptions. Entry-level roles are already being replaced. What does that mean for how we develop talent in our organizations? And where do you see new roles or opportunities emerging as a result?
