AI Readiness in Europe is becoming a critical issue for enterprise leaders. At Cisco Live in Amsterdam, we explore why only 11% of European organizations consider themselves AI ready — and what must change now. In this interview, @Ronald_vanLoon speak with Gordon Thomson, President EMEA at @Cisco, during Cisco Live in Amsterdam. We discuss the gap between AI ambition and AI execution in Europe, the risks of moving too slowly, and why organizations that remain stuck in pilot mode risk being left behind. According to Cisco’s latest research, only 11% of European companies say they are AI ready. That means 89% are not prepared to fully deploy and operationalize AI at scale. The challenge is no longer experimentation. The challenge is production. Insights Covered: * The gap between AI ambition and AI readiness in Europe * Why companies risk falling behind in the AI economy * Moving from AI pilots to production deployment * Agentic AI and enterprise transformation * How regulation in Europe can create trust and competitive advantage * Why speed and validation are critical in AI adoption We also discuss how European regulation, often seen as a barrier, can actually become a strategic advantage. Regulation builds trust. Trust accelerates adoption. Adoption drives long-term enterprise value. If you are a CIO, CTO, CEO, or digital transformation leader navigating AI strategy in Europe, this conversation provides practical guidance on how to move faster and more effectively. The time to act is now. AI readiness cannot wait.
