Enterprise adoption of tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot is soaring, but too frequently organizations use them as little more than glorified search engines. The problem isn’t access to AI; it’s that AI has no idea how the business actually works. Without visibility into an organization’s workflows, operational data, and customer information, these tools are insufficient to make informed business decisions and provide advice grounded in actual business practices.
Join us for an exclusive dinner and panel discussion sponsored by Smartsheet. You and fellow senior IT executives and decision-makers will share insights, best practices, and strategies for grounding enterprise AI in the operational context it needs to deliver real business value.
In this session we will cover:
- Why LLMs lacking enterprise context fail to deliver full business value
- How to turn AI from a “glorified search tool” into a true business advisor
- How grounding AI in work management platforms can streamline workflows,
- increase efficiency, and improve decision making
- Methods of avoiding AI agent sprawl and shadow AI IT risk
- Strategies to ensuring governance and compliance and enable AI at scale
