Delivering digital transformation, without the elephant sandwich

Matthew Irish, General Manager, Digital Services at Apogee Corporation, explains how and why many companies still find the idea of digital transformation overwhelming with multi-year projects that cost a fortune and never seem to end. Too often, businesses try to swallow the entire ‘elephant’ at once, leading to a massive, expensive, company-wide overhaul that creates more chaos than it solves. Matt outlines an alternative, smarter, less stomach-churning way to approach digital transformation. Instead of a huge, high-stakes project, he recommends a step-by-step approach that tackles one process at a time, making it easier to manage, less disruptive, and way more effective.

General disillusionment with GenAI, but (other) AI can help

Maxime Vermeir, Senior Director of AI Strategy at ABBYY, discusses the results from ABBYY’s State of Intelligent Automation: GenAI Confessions 2025 survey, which reveals challenges in implementing Generative AI (GenAI) – prompting the use of other AI to improve outputs. He explains that businesses are spending money on GenAI tools that promise more than they can provide and advises that before moving forward with leveraging GenAI tools for agentic AI, companies need to first evaluate their current processes and create a visibility map of their workflow with data analytics tools such as process intelligence.
