What Kills an AI Pilot?


Featuring Dr. Philipp Herzig, CTO and Chief AI Officer at SAP, and Greg Shove, CEO of Section
April 29, 2025
1 - 2 p.m. ET
How to keep your AI initiatives off the cutting room floor
The biggest issue enterprise leaders face in 2025: Everyone knows they need to be building with AI, but no one knows exactly how to do it.
Why are so many AI projects DOA, and how can you make sure yours isn’t one of them?
Section CEO Greg Shove is sitting down with SAP’s CTO and Chief AI Officer, Dr. Philipp Herzig, to talk about getting AI projects from pilot to product.
They’ll answer questions like:
- 70% of gen AI projects are estimated to be stuck in pilot – why is that?
- What are the most common characteristics of failed vs. successful AI pilots?
- How much of an AI pilot is tech implementation vs. business strategy?
- How do you build a winning AI tiger team?
- How is SAP calculating the ROI of its AI projects?
Join us on April 29 from 1 - 2 pm ET and bring your questions.
