A prioritisation filter that holds up
The outcome-first test Village Roadshow applies when deciding which AI ideas become agents, including the discipline required to hold back the ideas that do not clear the bar.

From AI Ideas to AI Agents
Inside the Village Roadshow outcome-first journey to agentic AI
Village Roadshow x Business Core Solutions
Most enterprises now have AI pilots running. Far fewer have agents operating in production. The Village Roadshow leaders who closed that gap give a candid account of the decisions, the governance, and the operating model it required, along with what they would approach differently today.

A practical conversation about moving from AI experimentation to production agents, and about building the operating model, governance, and internal capability that scale requires.
About this session
Why this conversation is worth an hour
AI pilots are everywhere. The harder problem is turning a promising idea into an agent that operates safely, reliably, and usefully inside a real enterprise. Krishna Soni and Rajan Rana of Village Roadshow share how their teams moved beyond experimentation, from identifying the problems worth solving through to running agents in production and building a repeatable approach for the agents that follow.
The discussion stays on the operational detail: how use cases are prioritised, where people stay in control, what changes when an agent becomes part of daily operations, and what scaling agentic AI demands across governance, security, data, integration, adoption, and ownership.
The session is built for CIOs, technology leaders, transformation executives, AI leaders, and operational decision-makers who want a working view of enterprise agentic AI once the conversation moves from possibility to production.
What the session covers
Six decisions on the path to production
Every organisation scaling agentic AI meets the same six decisions, and the order in which they are taken determines how much rework arrives later. Village Roadshow has already made each one in production, and the session works through the reasoning behind them.
Where human oversight belongs
The risk-based criteria that determine when an agent may act rather than recommend, expressed in language that carries directly into a risk or audit forum.
What production actually demands
What changes once an agent becomes a service that the business and IT jointly own, rather than a pilot a single team is championing.
Governance built into delivery
How security, identity, data access, and risk decisions enter early enough to accelerate delivery instead of gating it in the final weeks.
Reusable enterprise patterns
What the second and third agents surfaced that the first could not, and how those lessons become shared architecture rather than repeated build effort.
Clear lines of ownership
How accountability is divided across the business, IT, and the AI function without creating a single-team bottleneck.
Speakers

Who should attend
Built for leaders moving from possibility to production
The session is most relevant to organisations with AI pilots already underway and nothing yet operating as a production service. The material assumes familiarity with enterprise delivery and governance rather than with model internals.
- CIOs and CTOs
- Technology and platform leaders
- Transformation executives
- Heads of AI and AI enablement leads
- Data, security, and architecture leaders
- Operational decision-makers
