Mind the gap!

Alex Stoewer, CEO of Greenlight Data Centers, outlines the data centre challenge as AI adoption is moving faster than infrastructure build out. Greenlight builds for the real world, one where extreme weather is normal, grid instability is rising and every hour of downtime costs millions. Alex discusses how Greenlight shortens build timelines through early utility partnerships, de-risks projects with local stakeholder engagement and future-proofs facilities against the kinds of failures that have shut down hyperscalers in recent years.

AI pacesetters likely to increase their business advantage in the near future

Rob Lay, Cisco, discusses the results from the third annual Cisco AI Readiness Index. A small but consistent group of companies surveyed — the ‘Pacesetters,’ about 13% of organizations for the last three years — outperform their peers across every measure of AI. The Pacesetters’ sustained advantage indicates a new form of resilience: a disciplined, system-level approach that balances strategic drivers with the data and infrastructure needed to keep pace with AI’s accelerating evolution. Rob explains what sets apart the Pacesetters and also offers advice to the majority of organisations who are caught in the gap between AI ambition and operational readiness.

Delivering digital transformation, without the elephant sandwich

Matthew Irish, General Manager, Digital Services at Apogee Corporation, explains how and why many companies still find the idea of digital transformation overwhelming with multi-year projects that cost a fortune and never seem to end. Too often, businesses try to swallow the entire ‘elephant’ at once, leading to a massive, expensive, company-wide overhaul that creates more chaos than it solves. Matt outlines an alternative, smarter, less stomach-churning way to approach digital transformation. Instead of a huge, high-stakes project, he recommends a step-by-step approach that tackles one process at a time, making it easier to manage, less disruptive, and way more effective.

General disillusionment with GenAI, but (other) AI can help

Maxime Vermeir, Senior Director of AI Strategy at ABBYY, discusses the results from ABBYY’s State of Intelligent Automation: GenAI Confessions 2025 survey, which reveals challenges in implementing Generative AI (GenAI) – prompting the use of other AI to improve outputs. He explains that businesses are spending money on GenAI tools that promise more than they can provide and advises that before moving forward with leveraging GenAI tools for agentic AI, companies need to first evaluate their current processes and create a visibility map of their workflow with data analytics tools such as process intelligence.
