Executive Roundtable: From AI Pilots to Enterprise Reality

From AI Pilots to Enterprise Reality: Securing the Age of Agentic AI

While AI investment continues to surge, the majority of transformative initiatives remain stuck in pilot mode. For many organisations, the barrier is no longer model capability but trust, specifically around data ownership, governance, and accountability in increasingly autonomous AI systems.
As AI evolves toward agentic architectures capable of acting, deciding and interacting across enterprise systems, traditional identity, access and security models are being challenged. Questions around who, or what, is responsible for AI-driven actions, how AI agents should be governed, and how organisations maintain control over sensitive data are becoming critical to moving from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment.

This roundtable will bring together senior AI, data and security leaders responsible for operationalising AI across the organisation. Through a candid discussion, we will explore the governance, identity and security foundations required to unlock AI at scale, and what must change in how organisations manage access, accountability and trust in the age of autonomous AI agents.

Beyond Digital Transformation: Building AI-Driven Commercial Ecosystems at Scale

Industrial companies have traditionally relied on dealer networks and field sales to drive revenue — but the digital buyer is reshaping that model fast. This session explores how Epiroc is using AI, data, and e-commerce transformation to bridge the gap between complex B2B sales channels and the seamless digital experience customers now expect. Drawing on real-world implementation across global markets, the talk offers a practical roadmap for organizations navigating the shift from catalogue-based selling to data-driven commercial excellence.

Key takeaways:

• How to architect a digital sales and channel strategy that works across dealer, distributor, and direct customer touchpoints — and where AI creates the biggest leverage
• The data challenges unique to B2B e-commerce: product complexity, pricing logic, aftersales integration, and why “just build a webshop” fails without foundational data work
• What a Commercial Excellence operating model looks like in practice: aligning sales, marketing, service, and tech teams around shared data and AI-driven insights
• Key lessons from scaling digital transformation in a multi-vendor, multi-market industrial environment — governance, change management, and measuring ROI

Practical ways to increase AI Adoption through AI governance

Companies face pressure to adopt AI technology as fast as possible, yet face major challenges to keep their environments secure. What AI technology do we deem safe? What AI technology do we want to block? How do we tackle shadow AI usage? Are we only worried about “the big actors” or are we also worried about the myriad of note-taking tools and other AI technology our people use? Are we confident that the dataset we set AI loose on does not contain any sensitive data?

Many companies struggle to find a balance between safe adoption, leveraging bleeding-edge technology to keep ahead of competition, and increasing audit requirements. Where do you start to get in control in a world where tomorrow’s technology quite literally isn’t today’s technology?
