Keynote Sessions
Patrick Debois - From Pilot to Transformation: Embracing the Reality of GenAI at Scale
During the last few years, many companies have rushed to βunlock the potential of GenAIβ. At the same time, vendors were taken by surprise and scrambled to get their off-the-shelf solutions out of the door. Ready or not, competition propelled us forward and pilots were launched. Some are more successful than others. As leaders in Digital Transformation, we start to see the first patterns to scale this out to the whole enterprise, a transformation on its own in the making.
In this session, we'll report on lessons learned from rolling out this new technology and how platform teams will play a big role in making this successful.
