Unlocking AI-Driven Business Impact Across Sales & Operations

Manufacturers are facing operation turbulence with supply volatility, cost inflation, and labor shortages. Meanwhile, market expectations for sustainability and responsiveness continue to accelerate. Traditional planning and execution models are no longer sufficient alone. As a result, many organizations continue to experience margin erosion, inefficient inventory positions, inconsistent production performance, and limited visibility. In this environment, how can leaders ensure their operations are agile enough to protect profitability and respond to constant change?

Artificial intelligence offers meaningful opportunity, but only when supported by theright alignment. Strategy must clearly define the financial outcomes that matter most — whether improving working capital, increasing asset productivity, or reducing operational risk. Infrastructure must enable secure and integrated data flow between commercial and operational environments. Doing so requires transformations across all layers of the business. Data must be unified, business processes optimized and AI leveraged to tackle the challenge ahead.

This roundtable will explore how senior manufacturing leaders are connecting planning and production, activating operational intelligence in real time, and building secure IT/OT foundations that accelerate time to value.
