AI: Easy to pilot, harder to prove

Dr. Barb Wixom shares a 30-60-90 plan for proving value from your AI data programs

AI pilots are everywhere, but how many are showing value?

The Alteryx Executive Exchange is built for senior leaders shaping their organization’s AI and data strategy. In this one-hour conversation, Dr. Barb Wixom of MIT CISR sits down with Alteryx CEO Andy MacMillan to share what separates the enterprises operationalizing AI from the ones still stuck in pilot phase.

Dr. Wixom has spent decades researching how organizations generate business value from data. Her recent work draws on companies including Caterpillar, Microsoft, Wolters Kluwer, CarMax, and PepsiCo — all Alteryx customers — to show what it takes to turn AI investment into measurable business outcomes.

Get ready to unpack:

  • How leading enterprises build reusable, governed data for AI at scale
  • Why some organizations turn AI investment into financial returns while others stall
  • What it takes to empower business teams with trusted, AI-grounded data
  • Why business logic is emerging as a defining factor in AI projects that are successful

This is a candid, research-backed conversation for leaders who are past the basics and ready to make AI deliver.

 

Caterpillar demonstrates what top executives must do to unlock the power of their data assets during their massive, multiyear initiative to transform corporate data.
