Drawing directly from her published empirical research across 20 global tech companies (LSE International Development Review, 2025), Vera Nicotra reveals why technology investment alone fails to move the commercial needle. Her LSE research demonstrates that leadership mindset and adaptive culture drive active GenAI usage 87.5% more effectively than IT capital expenditure. When AI is adopted in isolated pockets, an AE drafting emails faster, a manager summarising notes with Copilot, organisations fall into the "Multi-Speed Adoption" trap highlighted by recent McKinsey studies. Power users sprint ahead while adjacent departments operate on legacy workflows, resulting in personal efficiency but zero structural P&L impact. In this keynote, Vera breaks down the boundary between individual tools and system-level revenue engines, providing CROs with a 3-part playbook to decommission legacy processes, empower high-EQ AI project leads, and rewire commercial operations for true enterprise ROI. KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR CROs: • Empirical Insights from LSE: Why 87.5% of GenAI adoption success stems from leadership and culture, not IT budgets. • The Multi-Speed Trap: How isolated tool productivity masks enterprise-level revenue stagnation (connecting LSE data with McKinsey's Rewired publication). • Rewiring the Revenue Engine: actionable steps to shift from "patching" old sales workflows to engineering end-to-end AI commercial execution.
