AI Adoption That Sticks: From Executive Ambition to Practical Implementation

GCC AI Series

Most AI initiatives do not fail because of technology. The real challenge is getting people across the organization to actually use it.

This session focuses on how leaders can close that gap in practice, where the real barriers are often human rather than technical.

In this executive-focused session, Jan-Eric Kloth will share the approach he uses to help organizations move from AI curiosity to actual usage at scale. His perspective is grounded in hands-on work with companies across banking, retail, technology, services, and consumer goods, as well as in his own AI adoption journey as an executive of a global consumer products company. He will show what it takes to move beyond pilot enthusiasm and overcome the concerns, hesitation, and organizational friction that so often block adoption.

Whether your organization is just getting started or already experimenting, this session will help you understand what actually drives adoption, where efforts tend to stall, and what leaders need to do differently. This is not a talk about AI trends or abstract use cases. It is a practical session on how to build traction inside a real organization, from leadership alignment to workforce confidence to internal champions.
