AI.Now: Breaking free from Pilots to enterprise impact

Introduction: From promise to progress

Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic ambition—it’s a present-day business necessity. Yet, despite significant investment and early enthusiasm, many organizations find themselves stuck in a recurring loop of proof-of-concept (POC) projects that never quite scale.

These isolated pilots demonstrate potential, but often fail to deliver sustained, enterprise-wide value due to a lack of strategic alignment, scalability, and integration with core systems. At the GBI Impact Summit in New York City, Visionet is hosting a high-impact roundtable that addresses this very challenge: how to move beyond experimentation and unlock AI’s full potential through structure, speed, and strategic alignment.

Why AI Pilots often fall short?

Many enterprises remain caught in what’s often referred to as "POC purgatory"—a cycle of perpetual pilot projects that don’t scale to production. The reasons are varied but interrelated—AI initiatives often start without clearly defined business use cases, making it difficult to justify their long-term value. Disconnected data ecosystems and fragmented technology stacks create additional friction, hindering seamless AI integration and slowing down enterprise-wide adoption. Organizational silos hinder collaboration, while the absence of tangible ROI metrics makes it hard to sustain executive buy-in. Visionet’s roundtable is designed to help leaders address these bottlenecks and build a clear path from experimentation to enterprise impact.

Visionet’s GenAI Studio: Enabling scalable AI

At the heart of Visionet’s strategy is its GenAI Studio—a dedicated innovation hub that helps enterprises rapidly and responsibly design, build, and scale generative AI solutions. The studio combines several key components to support the entire AI lifecycle:

  • Pre-built accelerators tailored to common use cases across industries

  • Domain-specific models for increased accuracy and relevance

  • Built-in guardrails to ensure compliance, security, and explainability

  • A proven 90-day roadmap that guides organizations from concept to production

This comprehensive framework eliminates guesswork and empowers teams to deploy enterprise-grade AI solutions with speed, safety, and measurable value.

 

Breaking the cycle: What to expect at the roundtable

Visionet’s exclusive roundtable at the GBI Impact Summit brings together its AI leaders and invited CIOs to share practical strategies for overcoming common AI adoption hurdles. The session will explore how organizations can:

  • Identify AI use cases that align with strategic business goals from the outset

  • Build scalable architectures that support agile iteration without creating technical debt

  • Enable cross-functional collaboration beyond traditional IT boundaries

  • Leverage Visionet’s 90-day deployment model to transition from pilots to production systems

Participants will hear real-world insights from industries like retail, manufacturing, and financial services, showcasing how others have turned POC frustration into platform-driven innovation.

Aligning AI with business strategy

One of the most critical, and often overlooked, elements of AI success is aligning technical initiatives with business objectives. Visionet’s roundtable will dive into how organizations can translate high-level strategic priorities into concrete, actionable AI projects. The discussion will emphasize the need for executive sponsorship and cross-functional alignment to ensure AI is embraced enterprise-wide. 

It will also focus on defining meaningful success metrics—not just technical performance indicators, but tangible business outcomes such as revenue growth, operational efficiency, and enhanced customer experience. When AI is grounded in a clear strategic framework, it becomes a powerful tool for transformation.

From insight to action: What you’ll take away

More than just a conversation, Visionet’s roundtable is a focused session designed to equip enterprise leaders with practical tools and immediately applicable insights. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to move beyond the POC loop, along with frameworks for aligning AI initiatives to core business objectives—ensuring every project contributes measurable value. The session also includes a 90-day blueprint for scaling AI from pilot to production, providing a structured path to operational success. 

In addition, participants will develop awareness of common AI pitfalls and how to avoid them, enabling smarter decisions and smoother adoption. These takeaways form a clear and confident roadmap for organizations ready to turn AI potential into enterprise reality.

Conclusion: The time for scalable AI Is now

AI is no longer an emerging trend—it’s a competitive imperative. But turning AI pilots into enterprise-wide impact requires more than just ambition. It demands structure, collaboration, and strategic alignment. Visionets participation in the GBI Impact Summit underscores its commitment to helping organizations navigate this journey—rapidly, responsibly, and with measurable outcomes. For leaders ready to escape the POC trap and build AI solutions that truly scale, this roundtable offers a rare opportunity to gain clarity, connect with peers, and take the next step toward transformative success.
