In this session, Dr Stylianos Kampakis, data scientist, author, and CEO of the Tesseract Academy, demystifies the planning phase so companies of any size can move from “AI curiosity” to concrete, revenue-generating projects.

We begin by mapping the business value-chain and spotting high-impact, low-risk AI opportunities. Next, you’ll learn how to segment initiatives into “quick wins” and “strategic bets,” assign ownership, and set measurable milestones. Finally, Stelios shares a proven framework for balancing talent, data, budget, and governance considerations, illustrated with real-world case studies from start-ups, scale-ups, and corporates. By the end, you’ll walk away with a practical template you can adapt immediately, turning AI from buzzword to business advantage.

What you’ll learn

• Identify and prioritise AI opportunities across operations, marketing, and product.
• Build a phased roadmap that aligns technical feasibility with commercial impact.
• Establish key success metrics and governance checkpoints for each initiative.
