Agenda Day 2

8:40 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: ENABLEMENT VS. EFFICIENCY: THE TWO‑SPEED STRATEGIC ROADMAP

Retailers need efficiency gains immediately while simultaneously building AI fluency for the long term.

Hear how value gates, councils, and disciplined backlogs prevent shiny‑object waste while improving margin impact.

• Understand and contrast different enablement and automation pathways for data teams.
• Discover how our panellists are identifying quick‑win POCs and readiness criteria.
• Explore build councils, demand‑shaping, and value‑gating mechanics.
• Expand into the murky territory of scaling pilots into enterprise capabilities that improve margin.
