From Disconnected Systems to Enterprise AI: How CIOs Eliminate Human APIs and Realise AI Value

LLMs and foundation models are accelerating fast, but the expected step‑change in enterprise value is still limited. There are many reasons, but a key one is architectural: most organisations still run on fragmented systems and siloed user experiences, so AI sits at the edge rather than on top of a unified, trusted view of the business. The outcome is a “human API” workforce – in the UK, over 6 in 10 employees say at least half their time is spent translating and coordinating between systems and teams instead of creating value. 

This CIO roundtable is a forum to explore the challenges behind that gap between LLM acceleration and enterprise‑level impact, and to share how peers are addressing them: moving from disconnected tools to agentic AI that knows your business and can truly transform work.

Attended the C-Vision International CISO Dinner last night and to sum it up in one word, "Wow!" Incredibly well moderated discussion and investigation into different viewpoints. I appreciate the openness of all the attendees to share their unique experiences and perspectives. I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and look forward to further events like this!

Recently updated my "event vendors I will NEVER work with again" list, DM me if you're interested in the names and stories. On the other hand, I want to recommend Nelson Soares and C-Vision International who are true partners to our success, and I really enjoy working with. Happy to also share the great list of vendors we liked, as there are many of them, and we've recently had the pleasure of joining wonderful events, which we immediately renewed.

The day was awesome and the evening exceeded my wildest expectations. I've never been to a dinner like that where a table with 12 CIOs/CISOs was focused exclusively on Netskope. Just fantastic.
Thank you for including me!
I look forward to the next time we have the opportunity to meet

I had the pleasure of joining the C-Vision International, Nordics CISO Council Roundtable with a wonderful group of cyber executives. We had a wonderful, insightful conversation and the whole experience was enjoyable. I made great new contacts and reconnected with existing contacts on really important topics that matter to CISO’s and all in cybersecurity. I’d highly recommend joining in any C-Vision event.
