AI Diligence in Transactions and Steady State
AI diligence frameworks are now published and in active use. What will be asked is knowable in advance. Whether your organization can answer is not. This session covers what serious questioners demand across proprietary AI, third-party AI, deployment, training data, and generative outputs. In a transaction, those answers move valuation, deal structure, and risk allocation. But the deal is only the most concentrated form of a pressure that never stops: procurement questionnaires, insurer underwriting, board fiduciary exposure, and the diligence every organization performs when it buys AI. Two findings transfer everywhere. Absence of evidence is itself a finding. Interviews reveal more than documents. Everything a serious questioner asks for is either an artifact a well-run AI program produces, or evidence that no such program exists. Leave with the questions you'll be asked, an honest read on what you can answer with evidence, and a structure for questioning your own vendors.

AI Strategy Trends from Real Orgs in 15+ Countries
Neither a market forecast nor a vendor's view of the world. This is what has actually been observed leading this work with organizations across more than fifteen countries and six sectors: where the money is going, where it is being wasted, which capabilities reliably separate the organizations pulling ahead, and how the picture differs by region and by sector. It draws on maturity assessments run against five pillars and twenty-five dimensions, so the patterns are measured rather than anecdotal. Expect some uncomfortable findings, among them the averaged-score trap, where visible strength in a few dimensions conceals weakness in the ones carrying real weight. And expect the aggregate answer, which is that nearly every organization in the world still sits somewhere between reactive and proactive, whatever its press releases say. What attendees leave with: a candid benchmark against peer organizations, and a sharper sense of which current investments are load-bearing.
