This session will include a moderated Q&A featuring questions from the live audience.

Organizations have invested heavily in AI pilots, yet many are struggling to translate early successes into meaningful enterprise value. As the initial excitement around generative and agentic AI gives way to the realities of scale, leaders are encountering unexpected challenges, including escalating token and infrastructure costs, fragmented data landscapes, governance and risk concerns, and operational barriers that slow production deployment.

In this session, Pradeep Karpur will explore why so many AI initiatives stall in the "pilot plateau" and what differentiates organizations that successfully move from experimentation to enterprise adoption. Drawing on real-world lessons and proven transformation strategies, attendees will learn how to build the right foundations for agentic AI, establish effective governance, manage costs, prioritize high-value use cases, and create a roadmap that delivers measurable business outcomes at scale.
