AI is high on every agenda, but real results still depend on the kitchen behind it. In this session, Allnex CIO Jilles Eissen shares a clear, practical perspective on why AI delivers value only when the fundamentals are in place. Using a simple kitchen metaphor, he explains how years of growth, change, and customization have left many organizations with “spaghetti kitchens”, complex landscapes that were built for a different strategy.
The message is not to slow down on AI, but to get serious about what makes it work: structure before tools, leadership before algorithms, and scalable processes. This conversation is for leaders who want AI to create momentum, not noise, and who understand that great results start by getting the kitchen in order.
