Wednesday, September 3, 2025, 2:00 PM | Room A, Hall 16 – AI Village
Many companies talk about Artificial Intelligence, but only a few manage to fully harness its potential with measurable results. In this workshop, we’ll guide you through a shift in perspective: don’t start with the technology, but with the real value that AI can generate in your company’s key processes.
Drawing on our experience with the AI Bootcamp, we’ll explore an "encouraging" path to identify concrete opportunities and launch projects that generate a significant impact in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. We’ll show you how AI is already producing tangible results in areas such as technical documentation management, process support in Operations, After Sales, and the creation of complex offers through intelligent configurators.
We will share a structured approach to mapping needs, understanding potential, and defining an implementation roadmap. An essential guide for entrepreneurs and managers who want to move from curiosity to action, avoiding the most common pitfalls and focusing on skills, methodology, and concrete objectives.
Speaker: Maria Helena Franciscatto, Consultant, Digital Competence Center at Bonfiglioli Consulting. With her PhD in Computer Science and extensive experience in Data Science and software development, Maria Helena will provide you with a clear and practical perspective on AI adoption.
With its proven track record in internationalization, Octagona will offer consulting and support to companies seeking to expand their presence in digital and international markets.
