There continues to be a gap between the full spectrum of insights which business users aspire to gain from BI systems, and what they currently provide. Nevertheless, well built BI systems serve as a reliable source of truth: a ground to stand on and aspire for more. Agentic AI provides a wonderful opportunity for smart BI & AI technologists to come together to design, deliver and scale systems that serve the unmet needs. In this talk, we will illustrate the technology elements from classic BI architectures and the Agentic AI space that could come together to achieve that. We'll also share a quick demonstration to give a sense that such capability is within reach. Join us to "Sense your BI Next"

In 2023-24, enterprises dove headfirst into AI experimentation, rolling out pilot projects and proofs of concept. By 2025, teams across organizations are generating a flood of new ideas: exploring automation, scaling promising use cases, orchestrating agentic workflows and supercharging productivity. Yet, as the possibilities multiplied, leaders are left asking: How do we implement these opportunities at scale, and with speed? The answer doesn’t lie in technology alone. Few leaders fully recognize that one of AI’s most powerful enablers, and at times its biggest barrier, is the intersection of technology, processes and people. To advance up the AI maturity curve, organizations need more than innovation; they need leadership that aligns technology strategy with talent, culture and vision. This session will draw on insights on how enterprises can lead the way by balancing experimentation with execution. It explores where leadership and technical teams are aligned, where they diverge, and what today’s business leaders must do to bridge that gap. We’ll discuss how enterprises can shift from chasing quick wins like productivity gains and efficiencies, to orchestrating AI for larger strategic goals: stronger customer experiences, tangible ROI and resilient business models. The talk will also highlight the role of the latest tools, accelerators and more in helping enterprises realize the true impact of AI efforts.
