Join us in Detroit on Nov 16–17 to talk about how leaders are making better decisions with AI.

Most enterprise AI is pointed at automating work. The leaders we learn from are using it to decide better: to see what is actually happening inside their organizations, and act on it sooner. That is the conversation we are bringing to the Forum.

  • Why is our AI transformation stalling after the pilot?
  • Why is the launch three months behind plan?
  • Why is one region outselling the rest?
  • What does today’s American consumer actually want from us?
  • Can we meet the energy demands of the AI economy?
  • Is our manufacturing footprint ready for what comes next?
  • How do we build for customers who will live longer?
  • Which of our century-old instincts are now a liability?
  • What would reinventing the company actually take?
  • Is our leadership team AI-ready?
