IDC & SAP Executive Dinner
Reinventing the Enterprise with AI: Strategy, Data, and Leadership
IDC research shows that 50% of CEOs in EMEA believe AI will enable their organisations to reinvent their business models within the next three to five years. As AI ambitions accelerate, however, CEOs face a growing strategic tension: how to deploy AI to strengthen business resilience in the near term while simultaneously using it as a catalyst for innovation and growth. At the heart of this challenge lies a strong, trusted data strategy, a foundational requirement for delivering scalable, valuedriven AI across the enterprise.
This exclusive dinner will offer a confidential setting for peer to peer exchange, enabling digital leaders to share real world experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. Participants will also gain perspectives from IDC and SAP experts on market dynamics, best practices, and practical approaches to turning AI vision into measurable business outcomes.
