Agility and AI - Are You Ready?

Agility and AI - Are You Ready?

So, what does Business Agility and AI have to do with one another?

In my mind, they are 100% connected.

In order to leverage #AI well, we must have aspects of business agility, we must be able to adapt and pivot.

And, in order to have business agility these days, we must be experimenting with AI to find and discover where we can harness the power of AI to drive better outcomes.

AI is changing how we work and perform our roles, and other roles we work with. This means that we can't imagine the changes yet to come as each role we work with is discovering how their work changes.

But, don't sit on the sideline waiting until "it is all figured out"! THIS IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE CHANGING! We are in the midst of a constant change and the longer you wait to roll up your sleeves and dig in, the harder it will be.

Be part of the positive change happening and jump in!

Here are some great resources below to help!
