Most teams are already paying for AI, yet few can show leadership what it has returned. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn the AI for ROI™ Framework (Align, Integrate, Scale) and apply each phase to one real task from your own week using the free AI for ROI™ Jump Start, so you leave with a dated 14 or 30 day pilot and the recoup math to take to your leadership.
You’ll leave able to:
-Pinpoint the one recurring task with the fastest payback, and set guardrails before choosing a tool
-Design a 14 day pilot inside the AI tools your company already pays for, with a human owner and a measurable goal
-Calculate value back, cost in, and weeks to recoup, so you know exactly what to report on Day 15
