From AI Adoption to Business Value.
What leaders need to put in place before 2027 priorities and budgets are set.
An exclusive Leader Exchange for senior leaders shaping next year’s AI priorities and considering what must be true for those investments to produce meaningful business value.
Tuesday, October 13, 2026 | 12–1 p.m. ET | Via Zoom
Why this Leader Exchange matters
Decisions being made now will shape where organizations place their AI attention and investment next year. Yet more tools, pilots, and activity do not necessarily create business value.
The risk is not simply underinvesting in AI. It is committing resources before the organization is clear about the value it expects and what will need to change to realize it.
What You’ll Take Away
A sharper view of whether one AI priority has a credible path to business value.
Clarity about the assumptions and unanswered questions that still need attention.
Peer perspective and a practical next step to take back to your organization.
What to expect
This is a 60-minute, interactive working session among senior leaders. Cameras on.
Everyone in the room is actively navigating AI adoption, investment, or the changes AI is creating in how work gets done. This is not a webinar or a workshop promising a finished AI strategy. The focus is the human and organizational side of implementation: what must be true for a chosen priority to translate into changed work and measurable value.
You will be introduced to our proprietary Adoption-to-Value Test, reflect on one real priority from your organization, and discuss what you are seeing with a small group of peers. The purpose is to make important questions visible, consider the human response the change may create, compare how leaders are approaching similar decisions, and get clearer about what needs to happen next.
Come prepared with one real AI-enabled workflow or priority your organization is considering advancing or funding. You will use it as the basis for reflection and peer discussion throughout the session.

Before you fund another year of AI activity, make the unanswered questions visible.
Join us on Tuesday, October 13 at 12 p.m. ET to examine one real AI priority through our proprietary Adoption-to-Value Test and learn from how other leaders are approaching similar decisions.
You will leave with a clearer view of what is already known, what still needs to be resolved, and where the next conversation or piece of work needs to begin.
