Enterprise AI progress often stalls not because teams lack talent, tools, or ambition—but because each group is only seeing part of the system. In this ODSC AI East 2026 keynote, Rehgan Bleile, Co-Founder & CEO of AlignAI and Founder of Women in Analytics, explores why fragmented perspectives across business, data science, engineering, risk, legal, and executive teams can slow or derail AI initiatives. Using the parable of the blind men and the elephant, Rehgan breaks down how enterprise teams can move from disconnected efforts to a shared system-level blueprint for AI. Learn practical ways to align requirements earlier, assess data readiness, build governance into systems, evaluate performance in production, and make better decisions about what to build. Watch to discover how organizations can reduce rework, improve cross-functional alignment, and turn AI from a collection of isolated projects into a capability that consistently delivers value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website and choose the nearest ODSC AI event to attend and experience all our training and workshops: https://odsc.ai/west To watch more videos like this, visit https://aiplus.training Sign up for the newsletter to stay up to date with the latest trends in data science: https://opendatascience.com/newsletter/ Follow us online! • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OPENDATASCI • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/odsc/ • Blog: https://opendatascience.com/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/open-data-science/ • X (twitter): https://x.com/_odsc
