Join Diane Gardner, Independent Advisor, Two Pillars Advising LLC, on Wednesday, March 19 from 9:15-9:45 PST at AI Agent & Copilot Summit for her session, “Presenting the AI Use Case: How to Speak the Language of the C-Suite and Board of Directors.”
AI tools like Copilot can totally transform the way we do business. So why doesn’t my C-Suite seem to be interested? They very much are! But just like any other major business process change, the implementation of AI tools needs a full business case. This session will be presented from the C-Suite perspective – 10 things that must be addressed in any business case when presenting to senior management and/or the Board of Directors.
1. Security
2. Protection of Intellectual Property
3. Confidentiality
4. Reputational Risk / Regulatory Landscape
5. Timeline
6. Costs
7. Benefits
8. Test cases
9. Education of employees
10. Ongoing monitoring, maintenance and testing
Gardner will discuss why these items are important and how your corporate culture will have a big impact of the success of project. She’ll also talk through the “real life” example of how her former company’s IT team convinced it’s very conservative and risk-averse C-Suite and Board to start using Copilot.
Key learning objectives include:
- Understand what terms are important to include in an AI business case
- Learn about corporate risk management and reasons why Boards and C-Suites may be hesitant
- Understand the value of tailoring the business case to your company’s needs and business objectives
