Building the Business Case for AI

Crafting Strategic, People-Centered AI Investment Cases That Drive Real Buy-In

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future consideration — it’s here, and it’s reshaping how organizations deliver value, make decisions, and engage their workforce. But adopting AI without a clear, aligned business case risks wasted investment, fragmented change efforts, and organizational resistance.

In this highly practical session designed specifically for change leaders, you’ll learn how to build two distinct AI business cases:

One for initiating your AI journey with small, strategic pilots, and
One for justifying enterprise-wide AI projects that scale impact and ROI.

We’ll break down how to connect AI to business goals, measure real value (not just buzzwords), and position your case in language that resonates with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You’ll also explore how to embed change management strategies directly into your proposal to improve adoption and ensure sustained outcomes.

Whether you’re just exploring AI opportunities or championing bold initiatives, this session equips you with frameworks, messaging, and confidence to lead AI conversations that stick.

Attendees Will Walk Away With:

Two actionable AI business case models: one for initial investment and one for scaling organization-wide.
A practical framework for aligning AI to organizational strategy and quantifiable value.
Stakeholder-centered messaging techniques to gain executive and team buy-in.
Tips for embedding change management principles into AI proposals to increase adoption and reduce resistance.
