CCMA Sponsor Briefing - ABP Consultancy & IBM - Governance and Trustworthy AI – The Foundation for a Successful AI Business Strategy
Date: 19/11/2025
Venue: Radisson Blu, Golden Lane, Dublin 8, D08 VRR.
Gartner predicts that by 2027, 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled due to escalating costs, unclear business value, and inadequate risk controls.
IBM has long recognised the need for Trustworthy AI—a strategic approach that unifies AI governance and AI security to ensure successful, secure, and scalable AI deployments.
At this exclusive session hosted by ABP Consultancy and IBM we will explore how Governance and Trustworthy AI is not just a technology conversation, but a business imperative—and a critical part of your end-to-end strategy.
You will also hear directly about how IBM implemented Governance internally - named Client Zero. This will be a unique, behind-the-scenes look at how IBM applies Governance and Trustworthy AI principles across real-world deployments. From navigating regulatory complexity to embedding risk controls and aligning AI with business outcomes, Client Zero showcases how governance is not just theory, but a lived practice that drives resilience, accountability, and innovation.
