CONFERENCE DAY TWO: 15TH OCTOBER

10:00 AM THE (GENERATIVE) AI REALITY CHECK: THE BIG BET ON TECH - RISK VS. REWARD

Technology and AI are at the heart of transformation, but are they truly delivering on their promise? While automation and SaaS have driven efficiency and cost-cutting, their impact on long-term growth remains unproven. AI - once hailed as the ultimate game-changer - has yet to demonstrate significant ROI at scale. Should companies invest in AI and technology without clear, immediate EBITDA improvements? How do these debates unfold in the boardroom when leaders looking to make a business case for technology investments? Join this session to hear key decision-making factors:

·       Where is Gen AI delivering real ROI today—and where it’s falling short?

·       How do PE firms approach tech investments (ERP, data & other projects) across the holding cycle?

·       The rise of SaaS reduces Capex barriers - but does it truly unlock value creation?

·       With boards reluctant to approve tech spend without clear ROI, how to build a business case?

·       Should leaders push for bold tech bets, or is cautious investment the wiser play?
