Stephen Forte (YPO Tahoe Integrated) will share a clear, operator-oriented approach for identifying the right starting points, building early momentum, and avoiding the common traps that keep AI initiatives stuck in pilot mode.

Drawing from his work with mid-market and enterprise leadership teams, as well as recent insights from his MIT executive education work, Stephen will help members understand what it takes to turn AI interest into durable organizational change.

Key takeaways:
• Learn how to identify the right first Agentic AI use cases, where business value, workflow readiness, and organizational adoption can come together.
• Understand the common execution mistakes that cause AI pilots to stall, including fragmented ownership, unclear operating models, and weak adoption paths.
• Walk away with a practical starting framework for moving from experimentation to execution, including how to build momentum, activate teams, and prepare for scale.
