What's next? Developing an AI-agile mindset
Exploring the potential shift from learning how to implement AI tools on a day-to-day basis to fostering leadership, teams and organisations that are prepared and skilled in tackling the evolving AI landscape.
Digital agility requires recognising and responding
“The goal is not AI transformation but having a future-ready mindset.” Abayomi Baiyere
CBS Associate Professor
The flow of new developments in AI tools to optimise our daily duties and inform strategies are constant – from AI-powered language models to deep learning software that fuels business efficiency and intelligence.
Developing an AI-agile mindset means taking an agile approach to these AI developments. This exercise of course presents itself with some mindset changes, management challenges and questions of encouraging and engaging teams.
During his presentation, CBS Associate Professor Abayomi Baiyere shared three key points to developing an agile approach:
- Develop a shared understanding of AI
- Strive for attentional resonance to gain traction
- Make a future-ready mindset the goal, not AI transformation
To finish off the event our speakers Sanne Thougaard, former Director of Digital Innovation at Lundbeck and Ian Rosenfeldt, Founder, COO & AI & Digital Growth Strategist at InboundCPH, shared some encouraging words.
- Ask WHY - define your business objectives before applying AI. It will give you the most on your bottom line and cultural impact!
- Start here! Empower your employees and focus on improving their daily lives - the rest will follow.
