AI Workflow Optimization & Team Design: How Research Organizations Are Evolving in the Age of AI

Everyone is talking about AI. The real challenge is figuring out how to use it well, and how to create meaningful value. For a while now, many organizations jumped on the AI trend, but not all were prepared to steer it in the right direction. We are now at a point of realization: the value of AI does not depend on the technology alone, but on how thoughtfully it is deployed within the organization.

Join a panel of insights and research leaders for a candid conversation on how research organizations are integrating AI into everyday workflows. We’ll discuss where AI is delivering real impact, where human expertise remains essential, and how teams are rethinking roles, structures, and hiring for the future.  Expect practical examples, honest lessons, real examples, and a lively discussion about where research goes from here and how researchers should be involved in shaping that direction.
