Drive impact with AI: Practical first steps for business leaders

Date:
Tuesday, July 21, 2026
Time:
2 p.m. - 3 p.m. ET
Businesses are exploring AI without clear guidance on where it improves forecasting, efficiency, or value. Join us to learn how leaders find practical AI opportunities, evaluate data and operations, and make smart investment choices for the near term and beyond.
Business leaders discussing practical AI use cases, data readiness, and operating decisions in a virtual setting.

Business leaders are actively exploring AI — but many struggle to decide where it fits, what’s worth funding, and what needs to be in place before scaling. Questions surface quickly: Which use cases improve planning accuracy or operational efficiency? What data gaps will limit results? Where does risk increase faster than value?

This webinar focuses on how business leaders are working through those questions today. Drawing on experience across private sector industries, including manufacturing, distribution, construction, healthcare, and professional services, our leaders will outline a practical approach to evaluating AI opportunities based on business impact and operational readiness, not technical curiosity.

Rather than promoting a future-state vision, this session helps leaders clarify what can be acted on now, what needs further preparation, and how to sequence AI investments over the coming weeks and months without creating downstream risk.

Learning objectives:

This session is designed for private sector-operating environments. Public sector organizations should register for our public sector-focused AI webinar, which addresses different governance structures, funding models, and decision constraints.
