AI ambition is high, but data is the bottleneck. IDC research shows only 7-10% of AI proofs of concept ever reach production, and the constraint is data readiness, governance, and organizational alignment, not technology. 44% of Western European organizations are stuck in “POC jail,” blocked by data silos, data quality, and security risks, and 70% of leaders say data silos were their single biggest challenge in 2025, with many holding 12-14 copies of the same data across environments.

The organizations that pull ahead treat data as a governed, shared asset. Those with high data-product maturity run generative AI in production at 72%, versus just 13% of low-maturity peers. A trusted, well-governed data foundation is what turns pilots into production and delivers measurable ROI, often within 12 months.

This exclusive executive dinner offers a confidential setting for peer-to-peer exchange, enabling cross-industry leaders to share real-world experiences, expectations, and challenges. Participants will also gain perspectives from IDC and SAP experts on building an AI-ready data foundation and scaling enterprise AI across order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, supply chain, finance, and HR.
