Foundations, leadership, and what stalls a pilot
Xavier Vallée, Founder, Sapionic
Thank you Inspired Business Media and the CIO Inspired Summit team for having me back after the CAIO Summit in London.
My message was the same: the value in AI is not in the tools you deploy. It’s not in agents and chatbots. It is in the decisions and workflows that you automate.
Delegating decisions to AI at scale, across workflows, change the operating economics of the business to a degree where it becomes a competitive advantage.
That requires a different playbook from digital transformation, and a shift of focus of most AI projects today from pilots purgatory to clear initiatives linked to the P&L. It requires data foundations, one aligned value creation plan, and change management from day one.
It requires transformational leadership.
Great conversations in Manchester today. If you want to continue any of them, I am easy to find.
