Session: That Awkward Moment When Your ERP Thinks It's Still 1998
Are you tired of seeing your company's ambitious AI initiatives stall, underdeliver, or fail outright? You're not alone. In this thought-provoking session, Elizabeth Moyle of Elizabeth Moyle Enterprise Consulting dissects a critical but often overlooked problem plaguing the world of artificial intelligence: our tendency to treat AI like a magic wand. We're starting with massive, unmanageable scopes and expecting flawless, instantaneous results — a recipe for disaster that mirrors mistakes from decades past.
Drawing on foundational research in behavioral psychology and recent eye-opening data from MIT, this talk reveals why so many AI projects are stuck in a 1999 mindset, where good intentions are no substitute for concrete, actionable plans. You'll learn why the "enterprise brain" approach is failing 95% of the time — and how the most successful companies are achieving remarkable results by starting small, focusing on specific pain points, and embracing an 80/20 approach to implementation.
Join us to uncover a better way forward. Learn how to build a solid foundation for your AI strategy, avoid the common pitfalls that lead to project failure, and start delivering measurable impact from your AI investments. This isn't just another talk about the promise of AI — it's a practical guide to making it a reality.
