Australia has a productivity problem, and AI is often pitched as the solution. But while companies are running pilots everywhere, very few are actually getting AI into enterprise production.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Frank Fillmann, Executive Vice President and general manager of Salesforce ANZ, about why 95% of AI pilots fail, why the “last mile” is so hard, and how businesses can move from slick demos to real P&L impact.
Frank will be appearing today at Agentforce World Tour Sydney.

Fear & Greed is proud to partner with Salesforce for this event at the ICC. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll bring you a series of interviews exploring how agentic AI is transforming Aussie businesses. Visit https://www.salesforce.com/au/news/ for more information.
