Leaders now have access to more data, models, and AI-driven insights than ever before. And yet the impact on decisions remains limited. Why? Because without governance, AI doesn't scale. And without AI, governance doesn't keep up.

The organisations pulling ahead aren't choosing between the two, they're using each to sharpen the other. Why does this keep happening? And, more importantly: what can you learn from those organisations?

Expect real stories, clear choices, and practical insights by Dorthy Van Saen from Ypto, Virginie Coget from Telenet and author Raphaël Weuts.
