As organisations invest in AI, automation, and connected technologies, the conversation is shifting from potential to practical impact. While innovation continues to evolve rapidly, many of us are focused on understanding where these capabilities are genuinely making a difference in day-to-day operations.

In this session, we will explore how AI and related innovations are being applied across asset management, supply chain, and procurement. Rather than focusing on future vision or emerging concepts, the discussion centres on current use cases, lessons learned, and the conditions required to see meaningful outcomes — particularly the role of data, process design, and integration across functions.

We will share experiences, compare approaches, and consider where innovation is supporting execution, improving decision-making, and delivering measurable improvements — and where it is yet to translate into tangible results.

We’ll explore:

• Where AI is making a practical difference in planning, maintenance, sourcing, and supply chain operations
• How organisations are applying automation and advanced analytics in real environments
• The role of data, process maturity, and integration in enabling meaningful outcomes
• Common challenges and considerations when scaling AI and innovation across functions
