International Services Week
June 22-26, 2026 | #ServicesWeek
2026 Theme:
Accelerating with AI.
Leading with Judgment.
Professional services is entering its most consequential period of transformation. AI has moved deep into the work itself, compressing timelines, absorbing intelligence-heavy tasks, and fundamentally changing what it means to deliver services at scale.
The firms pulling ahead share two defining characteristics: they have built the operational foundations to harness AI as an engine of speed, scale, and efficiency, and they have doubled down on the human expertise, ethical leadership, and strategic clarity that define the most durable client relationships.
The Services Dialogue: Bridging the Gap Between AI Expectation and Operational Reality
Featuring Mickey North Rizza, Group Vice President at IDC
Transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. As the professional services industry enters its most consequential period of disruption, success depends on our collective ability to share insights, tackle challenges, and understand the forces reshaping our businesses. While senior leaders view AI as a massive opportunity, a stark gap remains: only 11.4% of enterprises worldwide are currently obtaining measurable results from the majority of their AI projects. This session moves past the hype to examine how modern enterprise platforms are rewriting the economics of services.
