The New AI Value Playbook: Making AI Business Value Visible and Measurable
Proving the business value of AI has become the defining challenge of the enterprise AI era. Traditional ROI models, built for predictable IT investments, fall short when applied to AI initiatives that reshape workflows, accelerate decisions, and create entirely new revenue streams. IDC predicts that by 2027, 55% of G1000 CIOs will be tasked with creating enterprise AI value playbooks featuring expanded ROI frameworks that capture efficiency, growth, and innovation impact. This panel brings together senior CIOs to unpack what those playbooks look like in practice, how to instrument AI investments, communicate value to the board, and translate model performance into tangible business outcomes.
