SHRM research shows AI can reduce cost-per-hire by 30%, but organizations that focus only on cost are missing most of its value.

In this thought-provoking session, Paul Carney introduces the “10 Dimensions of Return on Intelligence” framework and reveals how leading organizations are shifting AI from a cost-cutter to an intelligence multiplier. Learn how to reframe conversations from “What will it save?” to “What intelligence will we gain?”

Through real-world examples, you’ll explore how to measure AI’s true impact across decision quality, innovation, time transformation, and organizational learning. You’ll also gain practical frameworks to design 90-day pilots, build compelling business cases, and turn skepticism into enthusiasm.

This session goes beyond implementation. It’s about multiplying intelligence across your organization to create a lasting competitive advantage.

👉 Join us and discover what you might be missing about AI.
