Overview
So where does AI actually move the needle? How do you scale it beyond experimentation? And how do you avoid the costly missteps that derail even well-funded programs?

- How to identify high-impact AI use cases that deliver the fastest, most measurable supply-chain ROI
- Build a board-ready business case for AI investments that clearly quantifies value, timelines, and success metrics.
- How to avoid the architectural and organizational pitfalls that keep AI initiatives stuck in pilot mode.
