About the EVENT

A recent industry survey reveals a sobering reality: two-thirds of organisations struggle to move AI proof of concepts into production. But why?

CTO Craft and The Scale Factory partnered to survey 200+ technology leaders, revealing the real blockers aren’t what you think. We want to understand what’s really happening when organisations try to move AI from proof of concept to production.

Join Mike Mead as he unpacks exclusive findings, then sits down with Ash Gawthorp and Michelle McDaid to dissect what the data really means and have a candid discussion about what we can do. 

At The Scale Factory, we work with organisations everyday solving these challenges. We kept seeing the same patterns emerge. So we partnered with CTO Craft to get broader industry data, to see if it was just us, or if this was everyone.

Turns out: it’s everyone
