Boards are setting mandates. And yet only 6% of organizations have fully implemented AI in their marketing workflows, while 95% of enterprise AI projects fail to deliver measurable business impact.

Speed to insight is no longer a nice-to-have; it&#8217;s the new competitive moat. Evan will walk through a practical framework for prioritizing the right AI investments, structuring your build vs. buy decisions, and positioning your data team to become a true product team rather than just a dashboard factory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why marketing data is the highest-leverage AI investment most enterprises are undervaluing<\/li>\n<li>How to close the gap between the 6% who succeed and the 95% who don&#8217;t, starting with your data infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>A practical build-and-buy framework for knowing where to invest internal talent vs. outsource<\/li>\n<li>How to evolve your data team&#8217;s operating model to deliver speed and scale in an agentic AI world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1577","seminar","type-seminar","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"start_time":"2026-04-22 12:00:00","end_time":"2026-04-22 12:30:00","theatre":631,"speakers":[1770],"businesses":[1644]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AI is disrupting BI: And Why Marketing Is the Canary in the Coalmine - Data Decoded LDN<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/datadecoded.com\/ldn\/seminars\/ai-is-disrupting-bi-and-why-marketing-is-the-canary-in-the-coalmine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AI is disrupting BI: And Why Marketing Is the Canary in the Coalmine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Leadership is demanding AI transformation.
