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. Chair: Shuvo Saha
 \, VP of Education\, TM Forum 15:45 – 15:50 Our challenge: Powering deci
 sions with evidenced value and benchmarking CEO/CFO tension and the compet
 itive one: proving ROI and knowing whether you’re ahead/behind peers Wha
 t the Autonomous Network Benchmark is\, what we’ve learned so far\, and 
 how to engage today Identifying the problem that the Benchmark solves: dif
 ficulties in comparing fragmented industry progress and linking autonomy m
 easurement needs to business value Advantages of a neutral\, anonymised wa
 y to compare performance and track progress over time Shuvo Saha\, VP of E
 ducation\, TM Forum 15:50 – 16:05 Case study: Starting right: How KPN us
 ed AOMM and ANLET together to build an evidence-based autonomous operation
 s roadmap KPN set an ambitious target: become Europe's most efficient telc
 o by 2030. But before investing in AIOps\, digital twins\, or intent engin
 es\, KPN needed an honest baseline. In this session\, KPN and Makman share
  the industry's first combined AOMM + ANLET assessment -- applying the out
 side-in/inside-out methodology from IG1403 with independent consultant val
 idation. We'll share what the dual-lens approach revealed that neither fra
 mework alone could show\, the "aha moments" that reshaped KPN's roadmap pr
 iorities\, and how the assessment became the foundation for a phased trans
 formation program now underway. Why KPN chose to baseline before investing
