The problem

92% of universities have an AI strategy.
Only 13% can prove it's working.

92% of universities have an AI strategy. Only 13% can prove it's working.

The gap between the strategy on paper and the AI actually running on your campus is widening. Faculty are using tools you didn't sanction. Pilots are stuck at proof-of-concept. Your core system can't adapt fast enough. And the questions from your board, your CFO, and your provost are getting harder. We are bringing Higher Ed leaders to compare notes on what's actually working, and co-build the roadmap for the next 12 months. Together.

What's on the table

Questions we'll explore together

The market is moving fast and the answers aren’t obvious yet. These are the questions we want to work through with you.

Where is AI actually showing up on your campus?

Sanctioned tools, shadow AI, and everything in between. Most IT teams know it's happening but can't quantify it.

Why do most AI pilots die before production?

92% have an AI strategy. Only 13% can prove ROI. What are the 13% doing differently?

How do you govern AI on systems that weren't built for it?

Workday, PeopleSoft, Banner, Oracle. None were built for AI workloads. Where does the AI work actually live?

The questions that your board will ask in Q4

The question is shifting from "do we have a strategy" to "what is the ROI". Will you have the answer?

What you'll take home

What you will leave with

Your campus AI snapshot

A self-assessment of where your institution stands, benchmarked anonymously against the others in the room.

What actually kills AI pilots

A validated checklist of where higher ed pilots fail between PoC and production. Specific, not generic.

A 90-day plan and 12-month roadmap

Co-built with peers, calibrated to your maturity stage. Tangible output, not slides.

A peer network worth keeping

Direct connect with the other IT leaders in the room. The kind that outlast the session.
