Getting Real Value from AI: Why Most Organizations Fall Short
Join Queen’s Executive Education for a free online panel discussion
Your team is using AI every day. But is it producing real value or just more activity?
If you’re wondering, you are not alone. In a recent KPMG survey, 93% of Canadian organizations said they are using AI in some form, but only 2% reported seeing a return on it.
Join AI expert, Professor Stephen Thomas, discussing:
Why are so few organizations and individuals seeing real returns from AI, and what do the ones who succeed do differently?
You will come away with a clearer sense of where value actually comes from, the traps that undermine AI’s ability to deliver value, and what to try in your own work and with your team.
