Where AI Ambition Meets Infrastructure Reality

Prefer to scan? Skip to the full transcript of the interview below.

Enterprises are investing millions in AI, cloud, applications and infrastructure.

 
In this panel recording, Julian Skeels (Expereo), Martina Longo (IDC) and Gerardo de Geest (McKinsey) break down where AI ambition is outpacing infrastructure reality. They also get into what separates the enterprises closing that gap from the ones still explaining it to their board. 

What the panel covers: 

  • Why network visibility, not raw bandwidth, is becoming the deciding factor in whether AI deployments actually work 
  • What enterprises consistently get wrong about infrastructure readiness, and where it shows up first 
  • How to read your own AI ambition against your actual network reality, not what's on the roadmap 
  • What to prioritize before the gap costs you a deployment, a deadline, or turns into a board-level problem 
  • How McKinsey, IDC and Expereo are each seeing the same gap from a different seat: strategy, buyer research, and the network itself 

Recorded on September 24, 2026.
