Successful AI adoption depends on leaders creating the conditions for employees to contribute ideas, test applications, and improve how work gets done.
Zach Giglio brings firsthand insights from being in the room with executives, managers, and frontline employees, helping them apply AI to everyday business challenges.

In this keynote, Zach introduces four conditions for building a culture of innovation: innovation readiness, leadership conditions, shared ownership, and lasting momentum. Through stories and examples from his work inside organizations, he shows how leaders can help employees apply their expertise, build confidence through practice, and turn successful experiments into improvements that teams can sustain.
