- Topic: From Digital Transformation to AI Governance: A Quality Perspective on Getting AI Right
- Presentation Slides and Video posted after meeting
- Abstract:
- Many people assume AI simply turns data into decisions.
- In reality, the process is far more demanding - and far more important: only trustworthy data, combined with well-trained AI models and strong governance, can generate meaningful insights.
- Even then, critical decisions should remain guided by human judgment.
- This session gives quality professionals a clear, practical pathway from AI concept to operational governance - grounded in tools they already know.
- You will walk away with:
-- A Five-Layer AI Architecture you can apply to industrial and business environments immediately
A DOE-based validation methodology for evaluating machine learning systems with statistical confidence
-- An ISO 42001 governance framework mapped to real AI development and risk management challenges
-- Real-world manufacturing examples bridging technical validation with management systems
- Who should attend: Quality engineers, operations leaders, and technology managers navigating AI adoption in manufacturing or business environments.- Speaker Bio:
- Janet Tupling is a Quality Engineering professional with 20+ years of experience across the computer and communications, automotive, appliance, and high-tech industries in China and Canada.
- An ASQ Senior Member, CQE, Six Sigma Black Belt, BVQI-certified ISO 9000 Lead Auditor, and MBA, Janet brings a unique perspective at the intersection of quality, technology, and digital transformation.
- She is passionate about how AI and IoT are reshaping manufacturing and supply chains.
- And passionate how quality professionals can turn emerging technologies into trusted, governed, and operationally effective solutions. - References: Support documents, website, etc

6:00 pm Presentation- Speaker: Barry Price, LinkedIn profile
- Topic: Build the Same Report for Every Audience: A Trustworthy AI Briefing Workflow
- Presentation Slides and Video posted after meeting
- Abstract:
- Quality leaders spend hours rewriting the same findings for different
audiences - a cost, break-even, and time-to-market story for the C-suite, and a clear, encouraging performance story for the floor.
- This session shows a real, working AI workflow that does the heavy lifting while the expert stays firmly in control.
- Barry generates one set of common briefing data, defines an explicit persona for each audience, and produces audience-specific briefings from the same source demonstrated live with his actual executive-brief and dev-team-brief agents.
- He walks the full five-step loop
- Generate common data,
- Define each persona,
- Generate each briefing,
- Review and update the persona,
- Regenerate, and send the approved version
- He frames the whole thing with the "AI Adoption is Trust Building" model: Check Everything, Challenge & Correct, Delegate with Confidence.
- Attendees leave with a repeatable method they can apply to their own recurring reports, and a clear-eyed view of how to keep accuracy and tone owned by a human.
- The demo uses Barry's real, working briefing agents
- the same executive-brief and dev-team-brief agents he runs as part of his daily AI agent suite
- with sample or already-public data so nothing confidential appears on screen.
- Who this is for and why it lands
- Quality professionals and managers who produce recurring reports and
briefings for multiple stakeholder levels - executive summaries upward, performance updates to the floor.
- It speaks directly to a daily pain (rewriting the same content in different languages) and treats trust and verification as first-class, which is exactly how a quality audience evaluates any new method.
- What attendees will take away
- A repeatable five-step workflow for producing one report in several audience-specific versions.
- How to capture an audience as an explicit, reusable persona the AI writes to.
- The "AI Adoption is Trust Building" model applied to real reporting:
- Check Everything
- Challenge & Correct
- Delegate with Confidence.
- A human-in-the-loop review loop that keeps accuracy, tone, and judgment owned by the expert.
- How briefings fit as one folder inside a larger AI Operating System for the whole organization
- Speaker Bio:
- Barry Price, AI Success Integrator, coordinates suites of governed AI agents that run real business processes with human oversight at every decision point. - As founder of BPriceless.AI and a member of the Humans Plus Agents collective - which has trained more than 10,000 leaders from over 1,000 companies
- He helps teams turn scattered AI pilots into dependable, continuously improving execution:
- Software development and QA testing, Customer-issue triage, and decision-ready briefings for every level,
- Each measured against a baseline and reviewed by a person before anything reaches a customer.
- His AI adoption model is deliberately simple
- Check Everything, Challenge & Correct, Delegate with Confidence
- Built on the idea that trust is earned through verification.
