About
Most AI adoption research focuses on executive plans and pilot programs. Druid’s new AI Adoption Benchmark looks at something different: what actually happens once AI is live in production in a real enterprise environment.

Drawing on 15 months of anonymized telemetry across healthcare, financial services, higher education, and HR & IT environments, the report reveals where demand concentrates, which channels users prefer, when engagement peaks, and how organizations are balancing automation with governed escalation.

Join this VB Spotlight as we unpack the findings and explore what successful production AI deployments actually look like — from high-volume “front-door” workflows to always-on service continuity and governed resolution. Also in this webinar, guest speaker Max Ball, Principal Analyst at Forrester, will discuss the broader market trends shaping AI adoption and provide perspective on how organizations can successfully scale from pilot to production.
Agenda
  • Prioritization: How enterprises are prioritizing high-volume workflows like FAQs, identity, access, and account servicing
  • Channel Realities: How user behavior and channel preferences differ across healthcare, banking, higher education, and HR & IT
  • Continuity vs. Capacity: How AI’s role shifts between 24/7 service continuity and peak-hour demand absorption
  • Outcome Metrics: What “governed resolution” means, and why it matters more than simple AI deflection
  • Operational Value: What live production telemetry reveals about where AI is creating measurable operational value
