Accelerating Business Outcomes with AI Agents – From Concept to Scale
Hosted by NTT Data, In Collaboration with Microsoft
In a market defined by fierce competition and rapidly evolving AI technologies each with their own risks and benefits, CIOs face mounting pressure to deliver real business impact - not just experimentation. With agentic AI gaining traction, the challenge is no longer if to adopt, but how to scale responsibly and effectively.
CIOs are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation, but must overcome key barriers: technical debt, skills shortages, and security and compliance risks. So how can IT leaders move beyond pilots and build AI agents that drive measurable ROI?
Join this Town Hall to discuss:
- How CIOs are tackling tech debt, skills gaps, and cost pressures to manage the risks and benefits of building AI agents at scale
- Building an AI-driven ecosystem with high-impact use cases and continuous improvement
- Partnering across the business to harness AI at scale, accelerate innovation, and deliver measurable business value
