About this talk

Join Cathal McCarthy, Chief Strategy Officer at Kore.ai, and Nick Clark, Partner and Associate Director at Boston Consulting Group, for a candid, 30-minute fireside-style conversation unpacking the findings of their joint white paper: Beyond AI Islands.

Key topics

In this no-slides, no-moderator format, Cathal and Nick dig deep into what’s holding enterprises back and what it takes to scale AI with purpose. Together, they explore:

  • The real reasons AI pilots stall and how to overcome “pilot fatigue.”
  • Why platform thinking, not point solutions, is the new blueprint for scale.
  • How to reframe governance as a design principle, not an afterthought.
  • The smart way to approach build vs. buy decisions.
  • What it takes to drive adoption across teams, tech, and leadership.
