??????TALENT TUESDAY?????? When “Roadtrip Nation,” a documentary series that airs nationally on PBS affiliates, asked us to participate in an episode entitled Built on Skills, we jumped at the opportunity. This is what we've done for 25 years: build a better, more productive workforce based on what people can do, not their past pedigree. Our software developer Sam shares his experience and expertise with “Roadtrip Nation” to help one of its “Roadtrippers” find a similar path into the tech industry. His segment starts around the 12:00 minute mark.

??????TALENT TUESDAY?????? The Chicago skyline. An awe-inspiring collection of buildings, each containing limitless possibilities. It was Michelle's dream to work in one of these skyscrapers. But, having to take time away from college to help her family, she didn't know if that would ever be her reality. With Catalyte she found a way. She now works for one of the world's largest advertising firms in a building she looked up at for years. Read more about Michelle's journey here: https://lnkd.in/e9tM6VaG

Poor planning and fear of missing out are likely to lead to bad AI investments, but even good AI projects may take time to return measurable business value. Take our AI readiness assessment to see how prepared your organization is to implement AI: https://lnkd.in/eewnbiM5

One of my favorite boxers, Muhammad Ali, famously said, "Your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see." We all know how great he was in the ring—agile, fast, and strategic. But his greatness wasn’t just about throwing powerful punches. It was his ability to anticipate and manage risks that made him the GOAT. The tools and potential of AI are like Ali’s punch—fast, powerful, and game-changing—but without a governance model to anticipate and manage risks, you’re left swinging blind or even worse, getting knocked out. AI governance provides the foresight needed to identify potential risks—whether it’s bias, security vulnerabilities, or ethical concerns—ensuring AI works for you, not against you. Are you ready to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee when it comes to your AI strategy? Catalyte is in your corner ??.

What AI do you need? A simple question. But one that many business, rightfully, have a hard time answering. To be able to select the correct AI service for your business, you need to understand what these services mean or entail. Chris Sorel, Catalyte’s AI advisory practice lead, discusses this tricky question with CTO Jun Wang and Principal Architect Jason Foster. They explore: - The landscape of AI services/technologies (eg: productivity, concierge, platform enhancements, ML/predictive analytics). - The use cases for these AI services/technologies. - How organizations can determine which service/technology is right for them.

??? TALENT TUESDAY ?????? What sets Catalyte apart from other IT service providers is how we leverage our proprietary AI to discover, develop and deploy high-performing tech talent.

The more data your organization has, the harder it is to make connections and pinpoint specific actions that are losing you revenue. Despite its cost, this is where AI is invaluable. It can process those millions of customer interactions, find the patterns and help you increase revenue. Watch the entire conversation, "What AI do you need?" here: https://lnkd.in/eczynPrC

Last week, Catalyte had the privilege of hosting an executive dinner at L'Ardente in Washington, DC, where we gathered with industry leaders to discuss the future of AI, exchanging insights and perspectives over a great blend of food and wine.

A big thank you to everyone who attended, to our thought leaders— Curt Schwab, Jun Wang, and Chris Sorel —and to the Catalyte team - Lindsey Ruszkowski, Cristina Gonzalez, MS, Emily Sapanaro, and Sara (Foster) Hanegraaf, for making it all come together! #AI #AIGovernance #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalTransformation #AIReadiness
