This year, we’ve seen many Innovation and NPD teams reach an impasse with their AI usage. Although they are using AI in some capacity, the grand potential of AI technologies to transform the workplace has not been realized. There are real productivity gains, but these gains are not compounding consistently. And the outputs aren’t trustworthy enough for mission-critical or automated agentic usage.

This is a problem well worth solving. Enterprises that learn to scale agentic AI within their innovation and NPD programs find that they are able not just to reduce administrative burden on low-level tasks. They are also able to:

• Accelerate market launches by weeks or even months
• Redeploy resources to the highest-value opportunities
• Take bigger swings at strategic priorities
• Fundamentally improve the economics of innovation

These benefits don’t come easily, but our experience has shown that the path is tractable – even with low bandwidth for new projects, minimal enterprise support, and scant AI experience on the team. But it’s important to plot your steps along the AI maturity journey deliberately.

Please join us on September 2^nd at 11am Eastern time for a webinar covering the practical steps that any company can take to embed AI into their innovation practices. Drawing on Wellspring’s growing experience helping customers navigate the AI Trust Journey, we’ll cover concepts including:

• Designing processes to move from episodic to embedded use of AI
• Managing change from AI acceptance, through adoption, to transformation
• Understanding the critical importance of data calibration and contextualization
• How to run AI pilots and scale-ups through an enterprise platform like Accolade
