Agenda
Introduction by Stefano Piano
This opening session introduces the Practical AI Summit and frames the central challenge of AI adoption in organizations: while most leaders believe AI will transform work, very few feel ready to lead that change. The speaker shares Mindstone’s perspective on why most AI pilots fail and sets up the session as a hands-on, practical experience focused on workflows, transformation, and helping attendees identify what is holding AI back in their own organizations.
View recordingThe art of the possible
This session demonstrates what is possible with today’s AI tools by turning live audience input into actionable outputs in real time. Using tools like Gemini, NotebookLM, Gamma, and deep research workflows, the speaker shows how AI can transcribe handwritten notes, synthesize themes, generate research briefs, create presentations, and even produce podcast-style summaries. The core message is that AI works best when treated like a capable teammate rather than a basic tool.
View recordingLiving the future: Mindstone Rebel
This talk explores how connected AI systems can move beyond simple prompts to handle multi-step workflows, team memory, document processing, grading, research, and insight generation. Through live demos using Mindstone Rebel, the speaker shows how AI can act as an orchestrated work partner across files, tools, and shared spaces, helping teams surface patterns, automate manual tasks, and create outputs like spreadsheets, presentations, and reports.

A survey of AI adoption initiatives by Jeremy Utley
This session reviews audience assessment data to highlight what strong AI transformation looks like inside organizations. The speakers walk through key indicators such as leadership vision, education, enablement, champions, measurement, governance, and performance management, using the data to show where most companies are progressing and where they still fall short. The talk emphasizes that successful AI adoption depends on clear expectations, training, and organizational accountability.
View recordingThe Mindstone AI Transformation by Marina Gorey
This talk presents a simple framework for AI transformation based on Mindstone’s experience working with organizations over several years. It explains that AI adoption is not just a technology rollout but a broader human, strategic, and operational change process. The speaker outlines stages such as leadership activation, capability building, operational redesign, champion development, and scaling, while also addressing cultural resistance, identity shifts, and AI-related behavior changes inside teams.
