AI for Communications - From Experimenting to Executing: Turning AI Curiosity into Collective Strategy
with Patrick Shields – AI PhD Researcher
In many businesses, owners, managers and team members are using AI but in disconnected, uncoordinated ways and often without full transparency with one another. Some embrace AI, others avoid it, and leadership is often unsure about how to respond. The risk? Inconsistent results, missed opportunities, privacy concerns and loss of ground on competitors.
🌟 Topics to include:
✓ The current reality - fragmented and inconsistent AI use across teams
✓ The importance of effective leadership-led communication in AI adoption
✓ How to start and continue internal conversations about AI with your team
✓ Practical actions you can take to unify your team’s AI journey
✓ Lessons and insights for excellent results
