Operationalizing AI - Learning from the Landscape (Human-centered AI)
Thrive Workplace Centennial, 9200 East Mineral Avenue, Centennial, CO, USHuman-Centered AI monthly presents Melissa Tondi "Operationalizing AI - Learning from the Landscape"
Food and drink from 6-6:30. Come early!***
Operationalizing AI is where promising initiatives stall - not because technology fails, but because systems, support models, and operating structures don't scale.
Melissa examines disruptors introduced over the last 25 years, demonstrating how to learn from past transformations rather than reinventing the wheel with each new technology like AI.
This session explores the real-world journey of scaling AI from a team of one to company-wide adoption. Drawing on a two-year transformation, you'll hear practical examples including:
- Establishing an AI Usage Policy that enables experimentation while managing risk
- Running an internal AI Roadshow to build awareness and engagement across departments
- Implementing a Lab-vs-Crowd model that balances centralized innovation with grassroots empowerment
- Building an AI Literacy Training that is self-guided and reported
We will follow with small group conversations and collaborative problem solving.
Designed for leaders and practitioners responsible for turning AI ambition into sustainable, scalable impact across their organizations.

About the Human-Centered AI group:
Navigate AI's Impact — Without the Hype
For busy software and product leaders, staying ahead of AI means more than chasing tools. Our monthly AI Special Interest Group cuts through the noise to explore what actually matters: how AI is reshaping collaboration, product strategy, leadership, and organizational change.This isn't a technical meetup. We skip the algorithms and implementation details to focus on the human systems that determine whether AI adoption succeeds or fails — collaborative learning, strategic thinking, ethical design, cross-functional alignment, and adaptive leadership.
What to expect: Each session features an expert speaker, small-group discussions, and practical takeaways you can use immediately.
Connect with experienced peers who share your challenges. Leave with new ways to think, not just tools to buy. Build the confidence to lead responsibly through uncertainty.Our sponsors

Agile & Lean Leaders
Cherry Creek, 50 S Steele St, Denver, CO, USAgile & Lean Leaders:
We are a peer community of senior technology leaders—spanning product, operations, agile coaching, and engineering leadership—who seek to learn, grow, and exchange ideas beyond our day-to-day environments. Our members are Directors to C-level, all leading technology and software teams in complex, fast-moving organizations who value people over things.
As Agile & Lean Leaders, we embrace both meanings of the term:- Leaders who apply Agile and Lean principles to guide teams and organizations through change with adaptability, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
- Leaders who shape the future of Agile & Lean leadership itself—mentors, thought leaders, and contributors to the evolving body of knowledge.
Our purpose is to:
- Connect with other senior technology leaders who navigate similar strategic and executive challenges.
- Learn from diverse perspectives—drawing on Agile, Lean, and other leadership models to tackle the real-world problems we face.
- Advance leadership thinking by developing, sharing, and potentially publishing new insights and strategies.
- Support each other as mindful, intentional professionals, leading with knowledge, calm, and clarity in high-stakes environments.
- Explore Lean principles alongside Agile to drive efficiency, eliminate waste, and improve flow in technology-driven organizations.
By engaging with this group, we strengthen our ability to lead transformational change, influence at the executive level, and shape the future of Agile and Lean leadership in technology.
We meet in person on a monthly basis near the Cherry Creek area, skipping December. Members are asked to commit to attending a minimum of four events per year.
