2026 ACG KC Corporate Peer Group - February

Using AI to Drive Growth

Ryan Orton, RubinBrown
 

Moving beyond AI pilots and hype, this interactive session cuts through the noise to help you identify where AI drives business value. We'll walk through real case studies and the organizational and process constraints that separate winners from expensive pilots, then dive into what works (and what doesn't) in your peer group.

• Why the Majority of AI Initiatives Disappoint: Understand the research showing why adoption doesn't equal implementation, and what separates the 5% that generate substantial business value
• Real Use Cases That Work: See two concrete examples that generated real business value
• What Matters: Understand why organizational constraints matter
• Peer Discussion: Talk through which opportunities make sense for your business right now, and what's blocking you from execution
