About the Content

Most enterprises now have dozens of AI initiatives but few have a repeatable way to move from pilot to production at scale. As AI becomes embedded in core business processes, leading organizations are shifting from project-based experimentation to a standardized enterprise AI factory operating model.

This peer discussion explores how large enterprises are designing AI factories that balance speed, governance, and reliability—using shared infrastructure, validated architectures, and clear operating models to deliver AI outcomes consistently across the organization.

Discussion Topics

  • Why AI Pilots Don’t Scale—and What the Factory Model Changes – Common failure patterns in enterprise AI programs and how standardized pipelines and environments break the cycle.
  • What Belongs in the AI Factory (and What Doesn’t) – Defining the right level of standardization across infrastructure, data access, tooling, governance, and workflows.
  • Separating Innovation from Production Without Slowing Either – How enterprises create fast experimentation lanes while maintaining strict controls in production environments.
  • Operating the AI Factory: Ownership, Governance, and Accountability – Who owns what across IT, data, security, and the business, and how operating models evolve as AI scales.
  • Measuring Success Beyond Models and Accuracy – Metrics executives actually care about: time-to-value, reliability, reuse, cost efficiency, and business impact.
