Why AI Implementations Fail, and How Asset Finance Lenders Can Get It Right
June 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET

Up to 95% of AI pilots fail to scale, but it doesn’t have to be that way. For asset finance lenders, the challenge isn’t the promise of AI. It’s execution.

This session cuts through the hype to provide a practical roadmap for turning AI from stalled pilots into measurable business value. Hear how a proven method has helped asset finance lenders reach 96% automation in as little as 6 weeks. From building the right data foundation to overcoming internal resistance and leveraging AI to compete with fintech disruptors, attendees will gain actionable strategies to accelerate success, working smarter with their data, teams, and technology partners.

Key Takeaways

  • Start with the right foundation: Understand why data hygiene, not algorithms, is the number one predictor of AI success, and what “AI ready” data actually looks like.
  • Move beyond pilot paralysis: Learn proven strategies to overcome adoption barriers, align stakeholders, and operationalize AI across the business.
  • Compete with confidence: Discover how AI can level the playing field, enabling smaller and midsized lenders to innovate faster and compete effectively against fintechs.
