What Kills an AI Pilot?

Featuring Dr. Philipp Herzig, CTO and Chief AI Officer at SAP, and Greg Shove, CEO of Section

April 29, 2025

1 - 2 p.m. ET

How to keep your AI initiatives off the cutting room floor

The biggest issue enterprise leaders face in 2025: Everyone knows they need to be building with AI, but no one knows exactly how to do it.

Why are so many AI projects DOA, and how can you make sure yours isn’t one of them?

Section CEO Greg Shove is sitting down with SAP’s CTO and Chief AI Officer, Dr. Philipp Herzig, to talk about getting AI projects from pilot to product. 

They’ll answer questions like: 

  • 70% of gen AI projects are estimated to be stuck in pilot – why is that?
  • What are the most common characteristics of failed vs. successful AI pilots?
  • How much of an AI pilot is tech implementation vs. business strategy?
  • How do you build a winning AI tiger team?
  • How is SAP calculating the ROI of its AI projects?

Join us on April 29 from 1 - 2 pm ET and bring your questions.

What Kills an AI Pilot?

We re-ran our AI Proficiency Survey and found that not only have proficiency levels flatlined, AI knowledge scores are actually going down.

So while companies are investing in AI at higher rates, a perception gap is widening between how well knowledge workers think they use AI and what the data shows.

Join Section CEO, Greg Shove, as he unpacks the results of our latest report and reveals why employees can’t seem to climb the AI learning curve – including what their leadership is actively doing wrong.
