Beyond the Model: Building the Conditions for Enterprise Intelligence

About this session

Every week brings another breakthrough model, agent framework, or enterprise AI product. At the same time, organizations are investing in RAG, governance, enterprise memory, knowledge graphs, provenance, and LLM-native knowledge formats. These can feel like separate trends competing for attention—but what if they're all attempts to solve different parts of the same problem?This talk offers a systems perspective on enterprise AI, arguing that the greatest opportunities lie beyond the model itself. Rather than comparing technologies, it introduces a practical way to think about the conditions that allow enterprise intelligence to emerge. Whether you're building AI products, advising enterprises, or deciding where to invest, you'll leave with a new way of thinking about why these technologies matter, how they fit together, and where the next generation of enterprise AI is likely to be created.
