What you’ll learn

  • Learn how CIOs and CFOs can create cost transparency and shared accountability across decentralized cloud, SaaS and AI spending

  • Explore approaches for building investment discipline, outcome metrics and value-based governance across the enterprise

  • Discover how modernization can fund future growth by reducing structural costs and increasing reinvestment capacity

  • Understand the hidden cost drivers that emerge as AI initiatives scale, beyond models, tokens and infrastructure

Most AI cost conversations start and end with tokens, models and infrastructure. But for CIOs seeking to scale AI across the enterprise, these visible expenses often represent only a fraction of the total cost. Workforce readiness, governance, workflow redesign, data management, human oversight and organizational adoption can have a significant impact on the economics of AI initiatives.

This webinar explores the broader costs of AI and helps CIOs develop a more complete understanding of where spending and value creation occur as AI adoption expands. Learn how to evaluate AI investments beyond technology costs, improve cost visibility, strengthen business accountability and make more informed decisions that balance innovation, risk and enterprise value.

What you’ll learn

  • Separate AI reality from hype and focus investments on sustainable value creation

  • Understand why AI access and adoption do not automatically translate into business impact

  • Learn what leading CEOs and boards are doing differently to prepare for AI at scale


Lots of money has been spent on AI, from building and buying solutions to funding pilots, deployments and production initiatives. Yet access has not resulted in adoption, and adoption has not resulted in impact, particularly measurable business and financial value. As organizations accelerate their AI investments, traditional fast-follower strategies are becoming obsolete. 

In this session, Gartner shares the inconvenient truths emerging from interviews with chairpersons and CEOs from organizations including IBM, Accenture, Tata Group and PwC. Explore what it takes to move from being ready to fail to being ready to scale, and learn the leadership, operating model and organizational shifts required to turn AI investments into sustained business value.

Interest in AI agents continues to accelerate as organizations move from experimentation to deployment. As business leaders seek faster ways to create and scale agentic solutions, no-code agent builders are emerging as a critical technology for empowering citizen developers while reducing reliance on scarce technical resources. 

However, increased accessibility introduces new challenges. Organizations must balance innovation and speed with governance, security and oversight while navigating a rapidly evolving vendor landscape. At the same time, enterprises are evaluating how best to support increasingly sophisticated use cases, including multiagent workflows, autonomous decision making and cross-platform orchestration. 

In this webinar, Gartner Sr. Director analyst Kelli Smith will explore the emerging no-code agent builder market, key adoption trends and the approaches vendors are taking to address enterprise requirements. The session will examine how organizations can evaluate platform options, establish an effective governance strategy and prepare for the next phase of agentic AI adoption. 

Attendees will leave with practical guidance for selecting no-code agent builder platforms, scaling AI agent development responsibly and positioning their organizations for the future of autonomous business.
