Why AI value lives in the redesign, not the tool

With Kristy Brown, Chief Executive New Zealand, Fusion5

US$1.7 trillion has gone into AI since 2022 - yet no major economy is showing productivity gains, and only 11% of CFOs report clear ROI.

If your organisation has rolled out [Copilot](https://www.fusion5.com/nz/microsoft/microsoft-copilot)or run [AI](https://www.fusion5.com/nz/artificial-intelligence)pilots but hasn't yet moved agents into production with real oversight and accountability, this session is built for you.

In 45 minutes, [Kristy Brown](https://www.fusion5.com/nz/our-people/kristy-brown) draws a direct line from the electrification era - where the productivity payoff took decades and only arrived once factories were rebuilt around the electric motor - to the reshape your organisation needs now to turn agentic AI into measurable growth and profit.

**Watch this recording to learn:**

- Why AI is everywhere except in company growth and profit - and the institutional reshape that closes the gap
- The three disciplines of safe, diffused innovation: distributed build, enforced standards and progressive trust
- The four capabilities that turn agent experiments into enterprise operations
- A practical model to prevent a cost blow-out: track like a CFO, allocate like a VC, manage like a CEO
- How an [Agent Operations Centre](https://www.fusion5.com/nz/resources/agent-operations-centre-whitepaper) lets you govern agents in production without governance becoming a brake

Who it's for

CEOs and Managing Directors, CIOs/CDOs/CTOs, COOs and transformation leaders, and CFOs across mid-to-large ANZ organisations who set or influence the AI agenda.
