When a Tool is Not a Tool: AI Gone C.O.L.D.
Remember the Space Shuttle Challenger, a monument to progress tragically brought down by a seemingly insignificant flaw? Decades later, it still serves as a chilling reminder: unchecked potential can harbor disastrous consequences. Just like the O-ring, Artificial Intelligence holds immense power, but its C.O.L.D. grip can stifle Creativity, blind Objectivity, shirk Liability, and threaten Dependability. Are we prepared to face this reality?
Join us for an eye-opening exploration of AI's potential pitfalls and transformative possibilities. This isn't doom and gloom; it's a call to action. Witness, in vivid detail, how unchecked AI can stifle imagination, leading to formulaic creations devoid of the human spark. Explore the dangers of biased algorithms warping our perception of reality and eroding objectivity. Unmask the chilling prospect of unaccountable AI, where responsibility diffuses and consequences go unchecked. Finally, confront the fragility of a world over-reliant on technology, exposed when AI falters.
Unveil strategies to transform this C.O.L.D. power into a blazing force for good by discovering how to wield it as a catalyst for creativity (not a tyrant of conformity), a champion of collaboration (not a parasite of innovation), and a lever for empowerment (not a crutch of dependence). Together, we can ignite a future where AI amplifies our humanity, not diminishes it.
This riveting presentation isn't just informative; it's empowering. It's an invitation to navigate the exciting, yet potentially treacherous, skies of the future with AI by our side. Will we succumb to the chilling grip of misuse, or will we ignite the fiery potential of AI for a brighter tomorrow? The choice is ours.
C.O.L.D. is an acronym for this presentation that stands for the four catalysts to ignite AY's potential: Creativity, Objectivity, Liability, and Dependability.

Driving Decisions with Data: Delight or Disaster?
Albert Einstein's famous words, "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts," offer a profound insight into the value of data. While the origin of this quote may be debatable, its message resonates with the challenges of the modern era. According to recent studies, the amount of data created in a single minute in 2023 far surpassed the amount of data created during Einstein's entire life. The question then arises: how can we harness all this data to make better decisions? To that point, in a recent Forrester survey of more than a thousand US companies, 91% of them said that data-driven decision-making was important to their business, while only 57% said they actually used data to make decisions in their business. In a world where data is abundant, should we not be using it to its full potential? This disparity calls for a critical evaluation of how we approach decision-making and challenges us to consider the implications of not leveraging data to its fullest extent.
How do we bridge this gap? What do KPIs have to do with ROI? How can we move from being in “data denial” to being data driven? Why should we care about leveraging data to its fullest potential? These are the pressing questions that need answers in today's world, and this session is ready to deliver. The four V's of Big Data offer a relevant framework for understanding the magnitude of the data we are dealing with, but what about the cognitive biases that often stand in our way? We'll explore three types of biases and how they can impede progress and innovation. Are qualitative and quantitative data really opposing forces, or can they work together for greater insight? Let’s capitalize on five best practices for driving business decisions with data, including how to LOOK, LINK, LISTEN, LEVERAGE, and LEARN. Discover how these practices can be a delight instead of a disaster, and ultimately, transform the way you think about data-driven decision-making.
𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙊𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨: The participant/attendee will...
• Recognize how to leverage both qualitative data and quantitative data in driving business decision-making
• Identify the three types of cognitive biases in big data and how they’re the enemy of opportunity
• Define the five best practices for driving business decisions with data along with the key words for each one (look, link, listen, leverage, and learn)

Making The Madness Behind the Method (Teaching, Coaching, or Mentoring?)
Henry Ford famously said, “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is NOT training them and having them STAY!” This powerful statement challenges you to rethink how you nurture and retain your talent. Do you pull or push your staff? Do you rely on adhesion or cohesion? Is your focus on attention (teaching), adjustment (coaching), or accomplishment (mentoring)? These are crucial questions that can make a difference in your professional development strategy.
To that point, imagine if you could train your employees in a way that not only improves their skills and performance, but also increases their loyalty and retention. Imagine if you could create a learning culture that fosters collaboration and innovation among your staff. Imagine if you could transform your professional development strategy from madness to method. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not. In this session, you will find out how to apply the “Mad Structural Matrix” to design and deliver effective and engaging learning experiences for your employees. The “Mad Structural Matrix” is a framework that helps you align your training with six key elements: emphasis, focus, goal, approach, summary, and relationship.
You will also discover how to balance three different professional development methodologies: teaching, coach, and mentoring for maximum effectiveness as you apply the Mad Structural Matrix framework. By using this framework and these methodologies, you will be able to create a relational mindset in your company that promotes cohesion and growth among your employees. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Join this session and explore how to take your training to the next level!
𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙊𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨: The participant will...

Bringing Data to L.I.F.E. and Life to Data
What does it mean to bring data to life? Does data take on a “LIFE” of its own, or does it have to be nurtured, prodded, refined, pushed, and pulled along the way? The challenge lies in turning raw data into valuable insights that drive action, innovation, and transformation. Marketing and customer experience expert Jay Baer once said, “We are surrounded by data, but starved for insight.” Although it has been said that exabytes of new information are generated on a daily basis, how much of that data is actually meaningful? Does volume necessarily translate into value? What vision can we bring to bridge this gap? We must go beyond the surface level, proactively push the boundaries of what’s possible, and actively breathe LIFE into data to unlock its true potential.
The untapped potential of data is costing businesses a staggering $5.2 million in revenue, according to a recent study of over 500 IT decision-makers in the US and UK. But the value of data is not in the numbers alone - it's in the business decisions they inspire. In this session, we will explore the four L.I.F.E. pillars of relevant data that will give your data meaning and impact. We'll blend left-brain logic with right-brain creativity to unlock powerful insights, drawing inspiration from a stunning example of data visualization ingenuity from the 1850s. But it's not just about answering the questions you know - it's about exploring the questions you don't know, turning obstacles into opportunities, and bringing data to life in a way that transforms your business. Are you ready to tap into the full potential of your data and drive real change in your organization? Find out how to turn obstacles into opportunities as you bring data to L.I.F.E. and life to data. Your journey starts here.
𝙇.𝙄.𝙁.𝙀. is an acronym for this presentation that stands for the four pillars of relevant data: 𝙇𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙘𝙮, 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙁𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮, and 𝙀𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮.
