Breakout Session

Managing the AI You Already Have

Wednesday, Nov 4 | 4:00PM - 5:00PM

Details

Your teams are already using AI. The question is whether anyone can see what AI initiatives running, who is building then, which ones are worth scaling, what it's costing, and what's the ROI/savings associated with them? For the people responsible for making AI work in the real world, adoption created a new job nobody was staffed for: managing it. This session names the operational challenges of AI adoption honestly, then shows how Smartsheet solution gives teams a way to bring order to it without building governance from scratch.
