AI adoption isn’t about chasing the latest model or expecting instant transformation from a single tool. As AI evolves, the real shift is happening beneath the surface in how we think, decide, and work together. The question isn’t just what AI can do, but how we adapt our processes.
This TIGER Talk will explore how to move beyond early experimentation by rethinking how decisions are made, how insight is shared, and how real value is created. It highlights common pitfalls like strategic drift and pilot purgatory, and offers practical ways to design AI workflows that prioritize clarity over speed.
Whether you’re leading a team or just beginning to explore AI in your day-to-day life, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to use it more thoughtfully and effectively.
