AI is accelerating change, but technology alone does not drive transformation. Success depends on making the right organizational choices around people, processes, and business priorities. It requires a clear understanding of where AI can create value, what capabilities your organization needs to succeed, and how to balance the costs and risks of implementation. In this interactive session, we'll explore MIT's Digital Capability Framework and AI Cost Equation to examine why some transformation efforts succeed while others stall. Participants will learn a practical approach for assessing organizational readiness, evaluating AI opportunities, and identifying the highest-value transformation investments. The session includes a hands-on exercise where attendees will apply the frameworks to a real challenge within their own organization, share insights with peers, and discuss how to prioritize digital transformation initiatives that deliver measurable business outcomes. Learning Outcomes Recognize the organizational factors that enable or hinder successful digital transformation. Use a proven framework to evaluate your organization’s digital transformation readiness, opportunities and risks. Develop a practical approach for prioritizing AI and digital initiatives within your organization.
