SESSION 5A: End to End Business Transformation Enabled by Data & AI

Abstract:

Organizations around the world are investing heavily in Data and AI, yet few have translated these investments into enterprise-wide business transformation. The challenge is no longer proving AI works—it is scaling it responsibly, embedding it into operations, and turning innovation into measurable business value. At Nestlé, Data and AI are not technology initiatives; they are strategic enablers of digital transformation that improve decision-making, boost productivity, and unlock value.

In this session, Vikrant Bhan will share Nestlé’s journey from experimentation to scale, highlighting how trusted Data Foundations, AI Factory capabilities, and emerging agentic AI solutions are transforming the way the company operates globally. Attendees will gain practical insights into balancing innovation with governance, enabling humans, data, and AI to work together effectively, and accelerating digital transformation in the age of AI.
