12:50 PM Foundations & Strategy | Taking the Driver's Seat: Building a Governance Foundation Before Scaling AI

With reports showing that 95% of AI projects fail when scaling past the pilot phase, many organizations mistakenly try to fix data issues with more AI or by simply automating outdated manual processes. Drawing from his experience managing complex operations at Baha Mar, Valquir Correa argues that true AI readiness starts before data ever hits a database. Success requires establishing an application-agnostic governance layer and fundamentally redesigning processes from scratch. In this foundational bootcamp session, attendees will learn how to stop being a passenger in their vendor relationships and take the driver's seat in their AI journey.
