Almost every enterprise has an AI strategy but very few have the execution to match it. The companies pulling ahead aren’t necessarily the ones with the boldest roadmaps, they’re the ones making deliberate infrastructure decisions, prioritizing effectively, and building with long-term flexibility and scalability in mind.

Recorded live at Dell Technologies World 2026 in Las Vegas, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman sat down with Michael Dell, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Dell Technologies, to discuss what separates organizations successfully operationalizing AI from those still stuck in the pilot phase. Michael shares his perspective on how enterprise leaders should think about balancing urgency with execution, navigating competing priorities, and building infrastructure foundations that can support AI across cloud, data center, edge, and endpoint environments.

The conversation also looks ahead at what characteristics will define enterprise leaders in the AI era over the next 12 to 24 months and what executives need to be doing right now to position their organizations for that future.

Key Takeaways:
🔹Prioritization separates AI leaders from AI followers. With no shortage of AI vision in the market, the organizations driving outcomes are the ones that have identified which initiatives connect directly to business results and have the discipline to focus there rather than chase every opportunity.

🔹AI leaders balance speed with discipline. The biggest risk comes from moving too slowly to compete or moving too fast without the governance, infrastructure, and operational alignment to sustain progress.

🔹 Execution, not technology, is the differentiator. Many organizations have access to the same models, the same cloud platforms, and the same tooling. The ones that win do so because of organizational focus, change management, and the ability to move AI from proof of concept into production at scale.

🔹 Where AI runs matters as much as what its running. The conversation has shifted from whether to use cloud to determining the right environment for each workload. Flexibility, cost, control, and governance must all be weighed as AI expands across cloud, on-premises, edge, and endpoint infrastructure.

🔹 The next 12 to 24 months will define enterprise competitive position for years. The organizations that emerge as AI era leaders will be those that have already built the operational foundation, infrastructure strategy, and leadership alignment to compound their advantage as the technology continues to accelerate.
