DESCRIPTION:Even though Autonomous Networks are increasingly moving from pi
 lots to production\, operators still face uncertainty about where to inves
 t\, which capabilities deliver measurable ROI\, and how to scale adoption 
 efficiently. This session\, we’re pleased to launch the TM Forum AN Benc
 hmarks Project. Join us to explore the results of our initial pilot progra
 m and explore how operators can use KPIs\, domain-level insights\, and reg
 ional comparisons to model value and prioritise actions. Moderator: Shuvo 
 Saha\, VP of Education\, TM Forum 15:45 – 15:50 Opening: Welcome + why t
 his matters now... and what the benchmark is (in plain English) CEO/CFO te
 nsion and the competitive one: proving ROI and knowing whether you’re ah
 ead/behind peers What the Autonomous Network Benchmark is\, what we’ve l
 earned so far\, and how to engage today Identifying the problem that the B
 enchmark solves: difficulties in comparing fragmented industry progress an
 d linking autonomy measurement needs to business value Advantages of a neu
 tral\, anonymised way to compare performance and track progress over time 
 Shuvo Saha\, VP of Education\, TM Forum 15:50 – 16:00 Presentation: Meth
 od + early insights: KPIs that drive ROI How the benchmark links network c
 apabilities to outcomes (KCIs → KEIs → KBIs) What is in scope for the 
 MVP pilot?Types of early signals emerging so far (value correlation\, vari
 ance across operators\, and where “levels” do/don’t predict impact J

 :00 – 16:15Case study: Starting right: How KPN used AOMM and ANLET toget
 her to build an evidence-based autonomous operations roadmap KPN set an am
 bitious target: become Europe's most efficient telco by 2030. But before i
 nvesting in AIOps\, digital twins\, or intent engines\, KPN needed an hone
 st baseline. In this session\, KPN and Makman share the industry's first c
 ombined AOMM + ANLET assessment -- applying the outside-in/inside-out meth
 odology from IG1403 with independent consultant validation. We'll share wh
 at the dual-lens approach revealed that neither framework alone could show
 \, the "aha moments" that reshaped KPN's roadmap priorities\, and how the 
 assessment became the foundation for a phased transformation program now u
 nderway. Why KPN chose to baseline before investing The dual-lens methodol
 ogy: AOMM + ANLET combined What the assessment revealed and how it shaped 
 the roadmap Measuring progress: the case for re-assessment cycles Luqman S

 rations\, KPN 16:15 – 16:45Panel: Early adopters’ viewpoint: Why we’
 re participating Each panelist has 60–90 seconds each to explain: The KP
 I/ROI question they most need answered Why peer comparison matters interna
 lly What would make benchmarking “worth it”? The panel will close with
  one cross‑cutting question from the host: “What would you tell anothe
 r operator considering joining?” 16:45 – 17:15Table discussions + part
 icipation conversations The session will conclude with facilitated table c
 onversations to pressure‑test the benchmark approach\, compare the KPI q
 uestions people are being asked internally\, and identify who wants to exp
 lore joining. Panelists join tables\, and TM Forum and Bain speakers will 
 circulate to answer governance/anonymity/effort questions and capture foll
 ow‑ups with interested companies. 17:15Closing remarks All timings are p
 rovisional and may be subject to change.
