From Hype to Impact: Turning AI into Enterprise Value - Nasstar (CAIO Inspired Summit)

‍

Overview

In this CAIO Inspired Summit masterclass, Sean Morris, Chief Technology Officer at Nasstar, and Jack Fisher, Solutions Architect at Nasstar, cut through the hype around AI adoption and look at what high-performing organisations are doing differently.

Drawing on Microsoft's Frontier Firm research, they describe the move from personal productivity tools, to task-based agents, to blended teams of humans and agents. They discuss the tech stack and frameworks behind AI value, the blockers that slow organisations down and real customer examples, from AI-generated retail imagery to a conveyancing firm automating its sales process.

Key takeaways

  • The biggest efficiency gains are coming from blended agentic and human teams, though few organisations are 'frontier' across the whole business.
  • The rate of change is so fast that organisations need to stay agile across strategy, technology and people.
  • Bring people on the journey: adoption depends on employees being supported and encouraged to use the technology.
  • Frameworks that look through the lens of business impact help connect AI use cases to the bottom line.
  • Executive buy-in, clear funding mechanisms and engagement across the enterprise are the real blockers to moving faster with agentic AI.
