    #010 The Quality of the Decision: AI, Optimization, and Governance | Daniel Lazaro and Edson Bauer (Accenture)

    Optimization and AI have become the basis of competitiveness, in a setting that demands deciding for profitability, emissions, safety, and efficiency at once. Generative AI has democratized access to once-specialized models, but also opened the door to "shadow AI" — informal use of tools outside official systems, with no traceability. The key lesson is to start with value, not technology: AI generates alternatives, but optimization chooses the best decision under real-world constraints. In an industry marked by strategic data, physical risk, and geopolitical exposure, trust must be built by design. Well applied, governance doesn´t slow innovation — it´s what earns the confidence to lead the energy transition. Guests: Daniel Lazaro, Market Unit Lead for Data&AI in Latin America, Accenture.Edson Bauer, Managing Director, Accenture.Host: David O´Keefe, Director of Alliance Americas, Gurobi.

    #007 🇺🇸 How digital and AI foundations unlock smarter optimization? | Karan Gill (Nestlé USA)

    The digital transformation launched in 2021 laid a solid foundation by centralizing data in a single data lake, ensuring quality, governance, and agility for more accurate analyses. On top of that foundation, optimization models were redesigned to cover manufacturing and distribution end-to-end, support 50% more analyses, and deliver three times more value. AI adoption has further accelerated progress, cutting prototyping time by up to 50% and supporting model formulation, scenario discussion tracking, and, more recently, explainability of results. Close partnership with functional stakeholders, with clearly defined roles and joint prioritization of the highest-value analyses, has been a decisive factor in consistent delivery. Finally, the combination of a Community of Practice, proven use cases, and a disciplined business-case approach sustains the scalability and credibility of the initiative. Participantes: Karan Gill, Head of AI for Supply Chain Optimization, Nestlé USA.Host(s): David O´Keefe, Director of Alliance Americas, Gurobi.
