Keynote Title: “Artificial Intelligence-Powered Business Transformation Strategies, Tools, and Applications (Turkish) Businesses Application”
Bio data: Will be annouced
Abstract: The presentation conceptualizes AI-powered business transformation as an organization-wide discipline rather than a standalone software project. It examines how artificial intelligence supports data-driven decision-making, process automation, operational efficiency, customer personalization, risk management, innovation, and sustainable growth. The study introduces an AI Readiness Index structured around six weighted pillars: strategy, infrastructure, data, governance, talent, and culture.
Global and Turkish evidence reveals strong managerial interest but limited implementation maturity. A corporate case study demonstrates readiness scoring and interpretation. Practically, the framework proposes a staged roadmap involving assessment, data preparation, governance, multidisciplinary teams, pilot implementation, performance measurement, and continuous improvement across business functions
