SUMMARY:From Prompts to Partners: How AI Is Changing the Way We Work and Think
DESCRIPTION:Be ready to interact with our featured speaker\, Kristy Wedel\, and your fellow participants. \nPlease arrive early. Doors open at 11:00 am.  \nEat. Mingle. Make new friends. \nAI 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. \nThis 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. \nWhether 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. \n*************** \nKristy Wedel\, Founder of ReMemora\, has over 15 years of experience in developing and democratizing analytics solutions that drive transparency and efficiency across various industries including healthcare\, banking and government. \nAt the forefront of AI adoption and instructional design\, Kristy’s strategic acumen ensures that AI is leveraged effectively and responsibly. She is a staunch advocate for robust AI governance. Kristy is a member of the Women in Analytics (WIA) team\, and is also a doctoral student at Franklin University in the Doctor of Business Administration program. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE.\n\nTimeline: \n11:00 am – Coffee\, Snacks\, & Socializing \n11:30 am – Lunch & More Socializing \n11:50 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (your “15 Seconds of Fame”) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Kristy \n1:00 pm – Wrap & Resume Socializing \n\n\n\n\n                \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.

SUMMARY:Sales Versus Growth - Why They’re Different and What’s Needed To Achieve Both
DESCRIPTION:NEW! Early Start – Extra Time for Connecting. Arrive as early as 11:00 am. \nBe ready to interact with our featured speaker\, Dana Allender\, and your fellow participants. \nEat. Mingle. Make new friends. \nJoin us for this TIGER Talk by Dana Allender.  \nWhile “sales” often focuses on short-term wins — generating leads\, closing deals and meeting quotas — “growth” requires a deeper\, systemic approach that aligns your entire business including sales\, marketing. product/service delivery\, customer success and\, most importantly\, executive leadership. \nSales is the key ingredient in growth! However\, true growth is not just about increasing revenue but having the right people doing the right things across the organization. By understanding the difference between “driving sales” and “achieving growth”\, leaders can focus on stage-appropriate actions and strategies to transform their businesses\, wherever they might be in their journey! \n*************** \nDana Allender is Founder of SUN (as in\, “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles)\, a firm he created to help companies sell their “stuff” and grow their businesses with a “customer first” approach.  \nDana’s interest in this came from his own early sales experiences\, needing to “build the airplane while flying it” like many founders\, business owners and sales leaders do – with the urgency to generate sales today while still learning what works (and what doesn’t) to generate repeatable\, scalable revenue tomorrow.  \nAs a proud member of Sandler Sales President’s Club\, he’s been “classically trained”. With that\, he’s also found from speaking with hundreds of founders\, business owners and sales leaders that training and creating “off the shelf” playbooks isn’t enough. Learning and growth happens in actual “customer conversations” while having someone you trust (and who’s done it) working alongside you to make it happen – achieving impactful results faster.  \nIn addition to his years of B2B enterprise sales experience\, he’s served in the roles of mentor\, advisor and Entrepreneur-In-Residence for organizations such as JumpStart/JumpStart Ventures\, Youngstown Business Incubator\, Alloy Development’s OhioXcelerate\, University of Akron Resource Foundation ICorps\, Rev1 Ventures\, and RevTech Labs Fintech and Insurtech Accelerator\, MAGNET and Bounce Innovation Hub. Memberships include the Angel Capital Association\, Ohio Angel Collective\, and OhioX while also receiving investing certification through VC University. He‘s also worked with economic development partners including Greater Cleveland Partnership\, Team NEO\, and JobsOhio to drive innovation in the region.  \nDana lives in Rocky River\, just outside of Cleveland\, Ohio with his family and dogs (Lance and Loki\, yes\, Loki from the Marvel collection!). His coaching doesn’t end with sales\, as he coaches kids’ travel basketball as well. He’s also learning (still) to play the guitar\, which you can see prominently displayed behind him during a zoom call and is happy to karaoke anytime – just ask! \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE. \nTimeline: \n11:00 – Coffee\, Snacks\, & Socializing. \n11:30 am – Lunch & More Socializing \n11:50 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (your “15 Seconds of Fame”) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Dana \n1:00 pm – Wrap & Resume Socializing \n\n\n\n                \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.
