Many banks have spent the past few years experimenting with AI, yet surprisingly few have moved beyond isolated pilots. Turning promising ideas into trusted, enterprise-scale capabilities requires far more than a successful proof of concept. It demands the right data, governance, operating model, leadership and organisational change. 

This session unpacks why so many initiatives stall -- and what the organisations making real progress are doing differently.

  • Why so many innovation initiatives stall between pilot and production. 
  • What leading institutions are doing differently to scalenew technologiessuccessfully. 
  • How data, governance, operatingmodelsand organisational change enable successful deployment. 
  • Practical lessons banks can apply to move innovations from experimentation into day-to-day operations.
