We&#8217;ve built agile processes, implemented DevOps, and adopted countless tools to accelerate every step. But what if all that effort was just building a <em>faster horse<\/em> &#8211; when what\u2019s really needed is a <em>self-driving car<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most organizations are only beginning to tap AI\u2019s true potential, often stopping at basic tool adoption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this on-demand session, 3Pillar Field CTOs Scott Young and Lance Mohring join Forrester Principal Analyst Devin Dickerson to unpack a clear four-level maturity model for AI integration &#8211; showing how to capture near-term value, overcome challenges, and prepare for a fundamentally AI-led
