Sam Drauschak, PMP | PDU: 1 Ways of Working
 
In the race to integrate AI, many organizations unknowingly create more noise than value, inadvertently creating broken workflows, weakened human connection, and unclear ROI. As automation becomes pervasive, the challenge isn’t whether to use AI, it’s how to do it wisely. This session helps leaders identify when technology enhances performance, and when human insight is irreplaceable. Learn to harness automation to amplify your team’s unique strengths, not override them, so you can drive sustainable results and build a more adaptable, people-centered organization.
 
Key Takeaways
 
  • Understand how to apply AI without displacing the human capabilities that drive creativity, empathy, and innovation;
  • Learn how to identify automation’s limits and apply a balanced lens to technology decisions;
  • Participate in a collaborative design challenge to model processes where AI and human judgment work in tandem;
  • Walk away with a playbook for integrating automation in a way that enhances—not erodes—organizational effectiveness and team morale.
