Your AI token spend keeps climbing — but can you actually prove what it's buying you?
Enterprises are caught in an impossible bind: pressured to deploy AI aggressively, yet held accountable for results they often can't quantify. Most organizations have already cycled through mass experimentation and then a retreat to "focused bets" — and neither approach has consistently delivered the value leadership expected.
Attendees will learn a foundational framework for identifying the specific points where AI drives enterprise impact, moving beyond generic use-case lists to a structured way of evaluating where investment actually translates into outcomes. The talk then walks through how to construct an execution strategy paired with a rigorous measurement framework — so value is planned, tracked, and defended rather than hoped for. This is a battlefield-tested approach, refined through real enterprise deployment with tangible results behind it.
Whether you're leading AI strategy, managing a budget that increasingly includes AI spend, or trying to bring discipline to a chaotic experimentation pipeline — this talk offers a practical path from AI activity to AI value, and a framework you can start applying the moment you leave the room.
