Business leaders are navigating a new phenomenon, with three massive forces converging simultaneously: Geo-political disruption, the explosive emergence of AI, and a fundamental reshaping of the social contract between workers and enterprises.

For organizations looking to move beyond pilot paralysis, their surest escape lies in transforming policy and governance from red tape into a bridge that connects AI experimentation with undeniable business value.
