IDC Opening Keynote: Enterprise AI in 2026: Time to Show Value

IDC’s research shows that although implementation of AI is now widespread across Europe, most organizations have implemented “shallow AI”, and the results (if there are any) are limited to modest improvements in personal productivity for workers and managers. Many senior business leaders, though, expect that AI will enable real business transformation – and so they expect to see measurable business value that significantly affects one or more KPIs.

In this presentation Neil Ward-Dutton will share where organizations are today, what is holding them back, and what steps some organizations are taking to deliver the results that senior leaders are looking for.

End User Keynote: RRR AI: Ready, Responsible and ROI Driven

Artificial Intelligence has moved from experimentation to boardroom priority. Yet many organizations remain stuck between promising pilots and scalable impact. The real challenge is not building AI models — it is building AI that organizations are ready for, that stakeholders trust, and that delivers measurable business value.

The session explores – under an executive perspective – how organizations can:

  • Build the data, technology, and workforce foundations required for AI at scale
  • Embed trust, governance, and compliance to ensure responsible AI adoption
  • Shift from experimentation to AI investments that deliver measurable business impact

Drawing on real enterprise transformation experiences, the keynote provides practical insights for leaders seeking to move beyond AI hype toward trusted, scalable, and value-creating AI.

Attendees will leave with a clear perspective on how to turn AI ambition into sustainable transformation power.

End User Keynote: Efficiency today, innovation tomorrow: the two-horizon model of AI transformation

The introduction of artificial intelligence is no longer purely a technological issue, but rather a management task. In this presentation, Gordon Nüsch (Director of AI, Rowohlt Verlag) shows how companies need to think in terms of two strategic horizons: while the first horizon ensures immediate efficiency gains through the concrete use of tools, the second horizon aims to enable genuine innovation and new business models through profound technology integration. The key to successfully tapping into both horizons is people. Learn how targeted change management and upskilling initiatives can not only accelerate work processes, but also empower your teams to support the transition from pure application to active redesign of value creation.

End User Keynote: Why AI projects get stuck in companies: What really prevents successful implementation

Most AI projects fail not because of the technology, but because the company is not ready for implementation. Pilot projects cannot be rolled out if departments do not take responsibility, operational structures are lacking, data is scattered and AI results are not incorporated into real work processes. Based on the experience of Lufthansa Group Business Services, this presentation shows how companies can move from individual experiments to beneficial AI capabilities – through targeted work on organisation, architecture and responsibilities.

The most important takeaways from the presentation are:

  • AI projects usually fail not because of the technology, but because of a lack of preparation within the company.
  • Common problems: departments do not take responsibility, operational structures are lacking, data is scattered, no integration into work processes.
  • The presentation shows the path from pilot projects to scalable AI capabilities.
  • Focus on organisation, system architecture and clear responsibilities.

End User Keynote: Culture beats technology: our path to AI maturity

Technology is only half the battle – without the right culture, any AI initiative will remain a pilot project. This presentation highlights how we managed to transform a service company with no prior AI experience from having “no AI expertise” to becoming an AI-ready organisation. The focus is on the human and organisational factors that make the difference: Mindset and acceptance: How we overcame scepticism and built trust. Competence development: Reskilling programmes and AI literacy for all levels. Governance and structures: The formal framework for sustainable AI use.

End User Keynote: AI beyond the hype: Real process efficiency along the value chain

Data and AI, especially generative AI (GenAI), are publicly touted as game changers for effectiveness and efficiency. However, in the operational reality of many companies, disillusionment is setting in: the hoped-for efficiency gains are not materialising – despite successfully completed proof-of-concepts.

There are many reasons for this. These include insufficient data quality and availability, high process variance, complex and heterogeneous IT landscapes, restrictive or overly complex IT governance structures, and a lack of mindset and low acceptance among employees.

Based on concrete experiences at Porsche Engineering, the presentation shows how a company-wide AI programme can be designed and implemented, what results have been achieved, and what typical challenges arise in the process. The aim is to provide practical insights and recommendations for action on how AI initiatives can be scaled sustainably and used effectively along the value chain.

Building Intelligence Platforms that Creates Real Value​

The IDC AI and Data Summit is the premier event for senior technology and business executives driving artificial intelligence and data strategies across the region. Designed for CDOs, Heads of Data, and AI and innovation leaders, this full-day event delivers strategic insights and practical frameworks aligned with Germany’s priorities: data sovereignty, industrial AI adoption, ethical governance, and compliance-by-design.​Germany stands at the forefront of Europe’s digital transformation, combining world-class industrial expertise with a strong commitment to privacy, transparency, and trust. Yet as organizations accelerate AI investment, they face growing challenges: ensuring alignment with the EU AI Act, modernizing legacy data infrastructures, and overcoming data fragmentation across federal and sectoral boundaries.

Agenda

IDC research shows that 29% of European enterprises cite data quality and availability as the biggest barrier to realizing AI’s value, while over 90% share data externally, but only 30% do so strategically. In Germany, these gaps underscore the urgency of establishing trusted data spaces, federated data ecosystems, and responsible AI governance.​rnrnThrough keynotes, executive panels, and peer discussions, participants will gain the insights and tools needed to transform AI and data into the foundation of Germany’s next wave of innovation, resilience, and competitive advantage.

Main Themes

Data Value Reinvention in the Age of AI​

Organizations are shifting from thinking about “using AI” to “leveraging data for AI value,” integrating data maturity practices like cataloging, lineage, and observability to fuel model performance and business impact.​

Scaling AI: From Pilot to Enterprise Deployment

Moving beyond experimentation, leaders create robust MLOps pipelines, governance frameworks, and change strategies to embed AI into core operations at scale with sustainability and reliability.​

Trust, Transparency and Responsible AI​

Embedding fairness, bias mitigation, auditability, and explainability across the AI lifecycle helps build user confidence, regulatory alignment, and long-term trust in intelligent systems.​

Data Sovereignty, Governance and Interoperability​

Balancing data residency, regulatory constraints, and cross-border flow requires hybrid cloud strategies, shared governance models, and interoperable architectures that meet business needs.

Generative and Agentic AI: The Next Frontie

As generative and agentic models go beyond assistance, leaders focus on guardrails, cost/risk trade-offs, hybrid model design, and alignment with existing AI systems.​

People, Culture and AI Readiness​

Success requires preparing teams with AI literacy, reskilling, cross-functional collaboration, and leadership that navigates resistance and embeds data-driven habits into daily workflows.​

Advisory Board

Our high-calibre advisory board guarantees the quality of the AI & Data Summit. With their expertise in data strategy and AI development, the members ensure that our agenda always stays at the cutting edge and offers participants a measurable knowledge advantage.

Die Einführung künstlicher Intelligenz ist längst keine reine Technologie-Frage mehr, sondern eine Führungsaufgabe. In diesem Vortrag zeigt Gordon Nüsch (Director AI, Rowohlt Verlag), wie Unternehmen dabei in zwei strategischen Horizonten denken müssen: Während der erste Horizont durch den konkreten Tool-Einsatz unmittelbare Effizienzgewinne sichert, zielt der zweite Horizont darauf ab, durch tiefgreifende Technologie-Integration echte Innovation und neue Geschäftsmodelle zu ermöglichen. Der Schlüssel, um beide Horizonte erfolgreich zu erschließen, ist der Mensch. Erfahren Sie, wie Sie durch gezieltes Change Management und Upskilling-Initiativen nicht nur Arbeitsprozesse beschleunigen, sondern Ihre Teams befähigen, den Wandel von der reinen Anwendung hin zur aktiven Neugestaltung der Wertschöpfung mitzutragen.

End User Keynote: AI added vs. AI native – Think Big or dAI out

Künstliche Intelligenz markiert keinen weiteren Technologietrend, sondern einen fundamentalen Architekturwechsel in Unternehmen. Diese Präsentation zeigt, warum sich Organisationen in zwei strategische Welten aufteilen: AI als Add-on (KI wird nachträglich an bestehende Systeme „angeflanscht“) versus AI als Fundament (AI-Native-Ansatz, bei dem KI das Betriebssystem des Unternehmens wird). Anhand einer direkten Gegenüberstellung wird deutlich, wie stark sich beide Modelle in Geschwindigkeit, Skalierbarkeit, Kostenstruktur, Time-to-Market und Innovationsfähigkeit unterscheiden.

End User Keynote: Warum KI-Projekte im Unternehmen steckenbleiben: Was erfolgreiche Umsetzung wirklich verhindert

Die meisten KI-Projekte scheitern nicht an der Technik, sondern daran, dass das Unternehmen nicht bereit für die Umsetzung ist. Pilotprojekte lassen sich nicht ausrollen, wenn Fachbereiche keine Verantwortung übernehmen, Betriebsstrukturen fehlen, Daten verstreut sind und KI-Ergebnisse nicht in echte Arbeitsprozesse einfließen. Dieser Vortrag zeigt anhand der Erfahrung bei der Lufthansa Gruppe Business Services, wie Unternehmen von einzelnen Experimenten zu nutzbringenden KI-Fähigkeiten kommen – durch gezielte Arbeit an Organisation, Architektur und Verantwortlichkeiten.

Die wichtigsten Take Aways aus dem Vortrag sind:

  • KI-Projekte scheitern meist nicht an der Technik, sondern an fehlender Vorbereitung im Unternehmen
  • Häufige Probleme: Fachbereiche übernehmen keine Verantwortung, Betriebsstrukturen fehlen, Daten sind verstreut, keine Integration in Arbeitsprozesse
  • Der Vortrag zeigt den Weg von Pilotprojekten zu skalierbaren KI-Fähigkeiten
  • Fokus auf Organisation, Systemarchitektur und klare Verantwortlichkeiten

Technologie ist nur die halbe Miete – ohne die richtige Kultur bleibt jede KI-Initiative ein Pilotprojekt. Der Vortrag beleuchtet, wie wir in einem Dienstleistungsunternehmen ohne vorherige KI-Erfahrung den Wandel von „kein KI-Know-how“ zu einer AI-ready Organisation geschafft haben. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die menschlichen und organisatorischen Faktoren, die den Unterschied machen: Mindset und Akzeptanz: Wie wir Skepsis überwunden und Vertrauen aufgebaut haben. Kompetenzentwicklung: Reskilling-Programme und KI-Literacy für alle Ebenen. Governance und Strukturen: Die formellen Rahmenbedingungen für nachhaltige KI-Nutzung.

End User Keynote: KI jenseits des Hypes: Reale Prozesseffizienz entlang der Wertschöpfungskette

Daten und KI, insbesondere generative KI (GenAI), werden öffentlich als Game Changer für Effektivität und Effizienz propagiert. In der betrieblichen Realität vieler Unternehmen stellt sich jedoch zunehmend Ernüchterung ein: Die erhofften Effizienzgewinne bleiben aus – trotz erfolgreich durchlaufener Proof-of-Concepts.

Die Ursachen hierfür sind vielfältig. Dazu zählen unzureichende Datenqualität und -verfügbarkeit, hohe Prozessvarianz, komplexe und heterogene IT-Landschaften, restriktive oder überkomplexe IT-Governance-Strukturen sowie fehlendes Mindset und geringe Akzeptanz bei Mitarbeitenden.

Der Vortrag zeigt anhand konkreter Erfahrungen bei Porsche Engineering auf, wie ein unternehmensweites KI-Programm konzipiert und umgesetzt werden kann, welche Ergebnisse erreicht wurden und welche typischen Herausforderungen dabei auftreten. Ziel ist es, praxisnahe Erkenntnisse und Handlungsempfehlungen zu vermitteln, wie KI-Initiativen nachhaltig skaliert und entlang der Wertschöpfungskette wirksam eingesetzt werden können.

Warum es sinnvoll ist, einen ganzheitlichen, servicezentrierten (service-led) Ansatz zu verfolgen, um Geschäftsergebnisse sicherzustellen

Unternehmen erkennen zunehmend, dass die traditionelle Trennung zwischen Netzwerk und Sicherheit nicht mehr haltbar ist – insbesondere im Zeitalter von AI for Networks und Networks for AI. Getrieben durch technologische Innovationen beobachten wir bei IDC einen wachsenden Bedarf, beide Bereiche als eine integrierte logische Einheit zu betrachten. Wichtige Treiber dieser Entwicklung sind die breite Einführung von Cloud Computing und Remote-Arbeit, der Wunsch nach vereinfachter Verwaltung und höherer Agilität sowie die verstärkte Nutzung integrierter Sicherheitsarchitekturen wie Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).

Für Unternehmen bedeutet dies: Die Anforderungen an die Auswahl von Technologieanbietern sowie an professionelle Dienstleistungspartner verändern sich grundlegend. Nehmen Sie an diesem IDC-Webinar mit unseren Partnern NTT DATA und Cisco teil, um zu erfahren, welche Auswirkungen diese Entwicklungen auf Technologiehersteller, IT-Dienstleister und letztlich auf Unternehmen haben, die solche Lösungen einsetzen.

Diskussionspunkte des Webinars:

  • KI prägt alle wichtigen Entwicklungen im Bereich IT und Kommunikation. Wie genau trägt KI zur Konvergenz von Netzwerk und Cybersicherheit bei? Welche Faktoren treiben diese Entwicklung an?
  • Gleichzeitig bestehen Bedenken hinsichtlich eines KI-Hypes. Wird KI im Infrastrukturbereich überschätzt? Wie stark wird sie die IT-Produkte beeinflussen, die Unternehmen nutzen, die Dienstleistungen, die sie einkaufen, und die Ergebnisse, die sie erwarten?
  • Wo sollten Unternehmen auf ihrer Transformationsreise beginnen? Welche zentralen Schritte und Elemente gehören auf die Roadmap?
