To fully harness the power of AI, it is vital to understand its strengths and weaknesses - and develop a strategy that maximizes its benefits while mitigating its risks. While AI offers numerous benefits, such as increased efficiency, improved decision-making, and enhanced productivity, there are also potential downsides to consider. The use of AI raises concerns over data privacy and security, the risk of bias and discrimination, and the potential for job displacement, among others.
Participants will walk away understanding the benefits of having an AI policy plan as well as with insights into how other, larger companies are deploying AI and what safeguards they are using.

Multi-Day Programs

Best places to work are the result of a strong business culture. Culture is in fact the most critical component to business success. It may also be the most undervalued and underrepresented area of a business. It's hard for growing businesses to provide the leadership and resources needed to intentionally shape their culture. But cultures will develop on their own, and if left alone, may produce unintended and undesirable outcomes. Becoming a Best Place to Work: An Action Plan for Leadership is built especially, but not only, for resource-constrained companies who value and want the impact a great culture delivers.
Gain the methods, messaging, and tools to negotiate from a position of power and strength. Say goodbye to fear-based pricing and unnecessary discounting and hello to courageous pricing conversations, higher prices, and improved profits.
Too often, next generation successors and rising leaders are completely left out of and/or are overwhelmed by business finance conversations. In this program, new and emerging leaders become empowered to understand their company's financial data, giving them the confidence to engage in the conversation and make better business decisions.
This Webinar Series is designed to help business owners and top sales leaders understand what an efficient and effective sales organization needs to succeed as their selling environment gets tougher.
