The Executive Exchange Powered by Alteryx

The Executive Exchange Powered by Alteryx is a candid conversation for senior leaders shaping AI strategy during a period of rapid change.

Hear from Ethan Mollick, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of “Co-Intelligence,” named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in AI in 2024. He joins Andy MacMillan, CEO of Alteryx, to discuss what leaders are getting right, where many are getting stuck, and what matters most right now.

The conversation looks at what AI means for organizations today, beyond hype, productivity claims, and isolated pilots. Rather than treating AI as a single initiative, it frames AI as an organizational shift that impacts culture, decision-making, and how work gets done.

This session is designed for senior directors and above who want practical guidance on leading AI adoption with focus, clarity, and control.

Key takeaways:

• AI adoption is a leadership and organizational challenge, not something that can be delegated to IT alone.
• Productivity gains only matter when teams rethink how work actually gets done.
• Clean data helps, but it should not slow organizations from getting started with AI.
• Competitive advantage comes from applying AI with real business context and expertise.
