Many companies are exploring the potential of GenAI, but wondering how to scale it’s benefits beyond a few high-profile projects. Realizing widespread productivity gains and ensuring responsible use requires a solid foundation of understanding and usage across all teams.

This TIGER Talk will focus on how a collective effort in building this foundational knowledge can unlock up to 8 hours a week per employee for your organization and protect you from rogue usage.

As an incentive for upskilling your employees, the Ohio TechCred program (Techcred.ohio.gov) reimburses Ohio companies with W-2 employees up to $2,000 per employee who completes AI training.
A key element of this session involves a practical approach to GenAI adoption: encouraging employees to consider tasks they could delegate to four distinct roles. This
exercise helps to demystify AI and highlight its tangible applications across various functions within the organization.

Join our presenters Gretchen Goffe & Heidi Grenek as they discuss practical strategies for empowering every employee to leverage Generative AI (GenAI) in their daily work. This program will explore how to introduce and implement a company-wide AI policy that encourages both innovation and responsible application.
