All AI, Zero ROI ☕

You've invested in the tools, rolled out the licenses, and executed pilots, yet fundamental change remains elusive. Why? Because AI adoption without a solid architecture turns into merely costly activity.

Many organizations are stuck measuring logins instead of real impact. They automate dysfunction instead of redesigning their workflows and ask employees to rethink their roles while they fear becoming retrainable.

Join us for an engaging breakfast conversation with senior leaders who are navigating this very gap between AI investment and tangible value. We'll dissect the five domains critical for AI adoption: Strategy, Operations, Culture, Governance, and Enablement. You’ll walk away with a refined vocabulary to better understand the underlying work beyond the tools and connect with peers grappling with similar challenges.

This will also mark the New York launch of Splendid Torch, a collective dedicated to constructing AI Adoption Architecture tailored for principled leaders in an unpredictable environment.

Hosts:

• Bob Gower — Founder of Splendid Torch, seasoned in assisting organizations like John Deere, Ford, and GE in reimagining their workflows. Now, Bob focuses on creating AI adoption architecture starting from people, not just tools.
• Joe O'Connor — Former leader of the world’s most extensive shorter workweek pilots, helping to redesign organizational workflows in the AI era. Author of Do More in Four (HBR Press) and strategic advisor on human-centered AI adoption.
• Usha Gubbala — With 15 years of experience coaching over 500 senior leaders at companies including Intel, PepsiCo, and the Ford Foundation, Usha now aids leadership teams in crafting the human conditions essential for successful AI adoption.
