Work Intelligence: Turning AI Ambition Into Measurable Transformation

-
Michael Rice
Principal, Solution Consultant, mini´«Ã½
AI promises to transform work, but most organizations still lack visibility into how tasks actually move across people, processes, and systems. In this session, we’ll show how Work Intelligence helps leaders map work, simulate AI’s impact before deployment, and make better decisions about roles, skills, investments, and where human judgment matters most. You’ll also learn how to manage risk and measure value as AI scales across the organization.
