[SPAN THE INTELLIGENT BUSINESS]
The Intelligent Business is a one-day conference, bringing together business leaders, technology experts and practitioners to explore the forces shaping how organizations operate, compete and grow. This year's edition focused on a question increasingly relevant to every business: how to build an organization that can make better decisions, adapt faster and turn technology into tangible business value.
That question set the tone for yesterday's conference hosted by Span and Span Evolve. Opening the event, Span's Senior Director for Enterprise Business Solutions, Petar Galeković, and Span Evolve's Managing Director, Kresimir Mlinaric, welcomed guests and set the stage for a day focused on preparing businesses for what comes next.
Span CEO Nikola Dujmovic examined the changing management agenda and why resilience is becoming just as important as efficiency.
The conversation continued with Joze Rant, CFO at Aircash, who offered a perspective on decision-making in a highly dynamic industry where a single mistake can cost millions of euros. Representing Microsoft, Ratko Mutavdzic delivered a simple but important message: no data, no AI. Organisations looking to create value with AI must first build a strong data foundation.
We also heard a unique perspective from Marko Rakovac, Executive Head of the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS), who spoke about making decisions when the cost of a mistake is measured in human lives. Alejandro Gutierrez (FourVision) shared how organisations can introduce AI into HR processes safely, responsibly and with clear business value.
Antonio Vlašić, Rok Žganjar, Šimun Šestak, Luka Volarević, Marina Baričević and Magdalena Kopić rounded off the day with practical use cases and live demonstrations, covering everything from AI in Business Central and agentic AI to real-time intelligence in Microsoft Fabric and AI-powered voice interactions in Dynamics 365.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the conversation on building more resilient, intelligent and future-ready businesses.
