Borys Pikalov explores a key question: in a world where only 5% of companies see ROI on AI efforts, how can organizations join this exclusive group? In this session, he provides honest insight into the challenges of transforming traditional organizations, emphasizing that it is not just about the technology.
He explains unexpected solutions to overcome organizational inertia and shows how to balance top-down and bottom-up adoption, train 10,000 people in a personalized way, achieve scale through non-scalable work, and get even the most conservative stakeholders on board.

Glen Rai addresses a common challenge faced by many organisations: while AI policies and governance frameworks are being developed, they often fail to translate into everyday decision-making.

In this session, he examines how organisations can move from policy documents to governance practices that actively shape decision-making in AI-enabled environments.

Participants explore how accountability is defined across teams, how decision ownership is maintained when AI systems are involved, and how escalation and review mechanisms operate in practice.

The session focuses on how governance can be embedded into workflows rather than being treated as a separate compliance layer.

The objective is to provide a practical perspective on how organisations can ensure that governance is consistently applied, not only formally defined.
