JST · Panel
Every senior leader is under pressure to show that AI spend translates to business value, but the path from investment to measurable outcomes is rarely linear. This panel brings together executives to share unfiltered perspectives on how they are defining, measuring, and communicating success for AI at the enterprise level, holding their organizations accountable to results, and making the tough call on when to double down, pivot, or walk away. From navigating board expectations and financial scrutiny to recalibrating strategy when pilots don't deliver, panelists will discuss what it genuinely takes to turn AI ambition into sustained competitive advantage. This is not a conversation about technology. It is about leadership, accountability, and the strategic choices that separate AI leaders from AI laggards. [AI投資がビジネス価値に結びつくことを示すプレッシャーは、すべてのシニアリーダーが直面する現実です。しかし、投資から測定可能な成果への道筋は、決して一直線ではありません。このパネルでは、エンタープライズレベルにおけるAIの成功をどう定義し、測定し、発信しているか――そして、組織に結果への責任を持たせ、投資を継続するか、方向転換するか、撤退するかという難しい判断をどう下しているか――について、率直な視点を共有します。取締役会の期待への対応、財務的な精査、パイロットが成果を出せなかった際の戦略の再構築まで、AI ambitionを持続的な競争優位へと転換するために何が本当に必要かを議論します。これはテクノロジーの話ではありません。リーダーシップ、説明責任、そしてAIリーダーとAI後進者を分ける戦略的選択についての対話です。]
