When Intelligence becomes abundant, Trusted Execution becomes scarce.
Most organizations have deployed AI, in copilots, agents, and automated workflows. Far fewer have closed the gap between what AI can understand and what the organization can actually act on. The missing piece isn't more technology. It's organizational design.
In this session, Jesper Schleimann, Head of Business AI for SAP in EMEA and author of The Intent-Driven Organization, will challenge how leaders think about AI adoption and what it genuinely takes to realize value at scale.
Drawing on customer transformations across EMEA and the framework behind his book, Jesper will explore why most organizations are still applying AI to processes designed for human labor, and how the companies pulling ahead are doing something fundamentally different. They are replacing operating models built around process with models organized around Intent, where human and AI execution are orchestrated together through clear accountability and calibrated autonomy.
This is not a session about AI capability. It's about the organizational transformation required to turn abundant intelligence into measurable, repeatable business value.
