SUMMARY:The untapped edge: Closing the AI activation gap
DESCRIPTION:Key takeaways \n\n\n\nDeloitte’s 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise report reveals a critical finding: Organizations have unprecedented artificial intelligence (AI) access\, yet most struggle to activate it at scale. In this discussion\, Deloitte and Snowflake leaders unpack why data readiness remains the top barrier and how governance must evolve for agentic AI. We’ll discuss: \n\n\n\nGoverned data foundations \n\n\n\nResearch showing why 85% plan AI agents\, yet only 20% have mature governance—organizations achieving transformation versus those stalled in pilots

SUMMARY:Due Diligence Reimagined: How AI Is Reshaping Valuations and Deal Risk
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing how organizations create value and how investors\, boards and deal teams must assess it. Traditional due diligence approaches that focus primarily on financials\, operations and technology are no longer sufficient to understand the true value\, scalability and risk profile of an AI-enabled business. \n\n\n\nThis one-hour webinar examines how AI maturity\, disruption risk and scalability are now critical drivers of valuation. Drawing from Protiviti’s insights paper  Due Diligence Reimagined: AI’s Impact on Valuations\, the session introduces a structured\, AI-focused due diligence framework and discusses how private equity firms\, corporate-development teams\, and boards can avoid overpaying for assets vulnerable to AI-driven disruption.    \n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with practical actions they can apply immediately to strengthen diligence\, governance\, and valuation decisions in an AI-driven market.    \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\nUpon completion of this program\, participants will be able to:  \n\n\n\n\nIdentify how AI maturity\, scalability\, and disruption risk impact enterprise valuations and why traditional due diligence approaches may not adequately capture these risks. \n\n\n\nDescribe the key components of an AI-focused due diligence framework\, including evaluating current AI capabilities versus future readiness and competitive exposure.\n\n\n\nAssess how AI-driven disruption can erode revenue\, compress margins\, or undermine existing business models\, creating valuation and investment risk. \n\n\n\nApply practical actions that boards\, investors and deal teams can take to integrate AI considerations into diligence\, valuation and governance decision-making. \n\n\n\n\nCPE: 1 credit available for live attendance \n\n\n\n*CPE for qualifying live attendees only.
