2:30 PM KEYNOTE CASE STUDY - AN OUTCOME-FIRST APPROACH TO ENTERPRISE TRANSFORMATION: SCALING AI THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESS AND HORIZONTAL VALUE STREAMS

As enterprises race to adopt AI, many still struggle to move beyond isolated pilots and function-specific use cases. At Ecolab, Chief AI Officer AJ Wijesinghe is leading a different approach: one grounded in the belief that successful AI transformation is 30% technology, and 70% people and process. Rather than layering AI onto fragmented workflows, Ecolab is redesigning work end to end, integrating AI, process orchestration, data and operations to unlock measurable business value at scale.
In this keynote, AJ will share how Ecolab is evolving from individual AI that supports personal productivity, to vertical AI that improves a single function, to horizontal AI that connects data, decisions and actions across end-to-end value streams. He will discuss why the biggest opportunity is not in point solutions, but in reimagining how work gets done across the enterprise, supported by the right operating model, governance, adoption and change leadership.
• Why AI transformation is about far more than technology or cost savings
• The difference between individual, vertical and horizontal AI, and why horizontal AI delivers greater enterprise value
• How an outcome-first, end-to-end process mindset helps move AI from experimentation to scaled impact
• What it takes to build the people, process and governance foundation required for responsible AI transformation
