How Do REAL Companies Do AI Projects in 2026?
Companies build CoE models and have identified HUNDREDS of business use cases for Agentic AI. Yet, they still struggle to get started. Or to get scale. Then, vendors release various tools, models, and harnesses to make AI development better/faster. It's still not working. This is NOT a technology problem. From Microsoft's perspective, we are changing our approach. We are beginning to use the exact same tools (which are vendor-agnostic) regardless of whether you are building a "personal productivity" solution or a true enterprise Agent. If we all use the same tooling, from the CEO to the data scientist to the frontline worker, then all we really need is a good PROCESS to manage things.
In this session we'll show you the skills you need and the process that works. It doesn't matter if you are the CFO, a front-line worker, or a data scientist. We'll show you how to scale a personal productivity solution to a team solution and then to an enterprise solution. We'll also show you tips and tricks to make your AI solutions more effective, faster. We'll show you the only two decision points that matter when you decide to scale a solution, and we'll show you how to govern the solution. If you've never used AI you will productive instantly. If you've already experimented with Claude, cowork, github copilot, or Codex...you'll learn new tricks that will speed up your productivity gains and make your solutions better.
