Adoption of AI in the enterprise has accelerated rapidly over the past few years, shifting the conversation from whether organizations should use AI to how it can be applied in ways that deliver real, sustained value. Now, the pressing challenge is practical: where does generative AI deliver real value once it becomes embedded into the tools and workflows people use every day?

This shift is particularly relevant in highly regulated sectors such as healthcare, where innovation must operate alongside strict requirements for data security, privacy and compliance. In these environments, those constraints shape how AI is evaluated and introduced, placing a premium on applications that can improve the flow of work without introducing additional risk or operational complexity.

To explore how these dynamics play out in practice, CCS Insight's Chief of Enterprise Research, Bola Rotibi, spoke with Adam Nerell, Chief Information Officer at Humana, and Patrick McCarthy, Vice President for Workspace at Google. Adam is responsible for IT strategy and operations at one of the largest Nordic health insurance and healthcare services organizations, and Patrick brings a broader perspective from working with enterprises in multiple industries as they adopt AI through Google Workspace.

The episode will allow you to:

• Embed AI into everyday work.
• Enable experimentation in your organization.
• Understand how value can be unlocked beyond traditional return-on-investment measures.
• Examine the role of platform architecture in AI deployments.
• Facilitate secure, compliant adoption of AI at scale in regulated environments.

Adoption of AI in the enterprise has been increasing at a rapid pace over the past few years, transforming how organizations tackle everyday challenges and improve productivity. What does that shift look like in practice?

To hear first-hand about implementations of AI in banking and retail, CCS Insight’s Chief of Enterprise Research, Bola Rotibi, is joined by Oscar Barlow, Head of AI Advocacy at Starling, and Colin Featherstone, Head of Technology at Morrisons. Oscar is focused on making Starling an AI-fluent bank, and Colin is responsible for networks, platforms, cloud and workspace.

We uncover how a major retailer and a digital-first bank are using Google Workspace and Gemini to tackle everyday challenges, such as connecting large, distributed workforces and cutting the time leaders spend on long documents, while keeping privacy, governance and human accountability at the centre.

The discussion explores:

• The business problems that made AI a priority.
• Rules for rolling out AI in different industries.
• Patterns of usage across roles and responsibilities.
• Lessons on how to have a successful pilot programme for AI tools.
