In the race to adopt AI, many organizations set ambitious strategies, yet nearly 80% of AI projects fail to deliver their objectives. Why? Because even savvy leaders often start with the wrong questions or over-index on tech to the detriment of impact. As companies prepare to spend over $1 Trillion on AI, how can leaders ensure their investments pay off?

Nabil Bukhari, CTO at Extreme Networks—the world’s fastest growing cloud management company and one of Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech—brings a fresh perspective and firsthand experience to this evolving conversation. His ARC Framework—Accelerate existing processes, Replace outdated systems, and Create valuable new experiences—guides organizations as they prioritize AI initiatives to deliver real business impact.

Conceived during the development of Extreme Networks’ new AI-driven platform, the ARC Framework is a proven approach that pinpoints the right use cases for AI. In this session, Nabil will talk about avoiding common AI pitfalls, driving incremental and ultimately transformative change. Anyone looking to integrate AI in a way that optimizes investments, complements company culture, solves urgent business challenges, and positions them for lasting impact will benefit from this conversation.

• The ARC Framework’s principles and how they can be applied to accelerate, replace, and create new business opportunities.
