Moving Beyond Prompts to AI Workflows That Ship
Most teams can generate impressive AI outputs, but far fewer can turn those outputs into work that actually ships. This is the challenge facing our industry, and it requires some reflection. Let's face it: AI is hard, and as models improve, the literacy required to work with these systems is becoming more complex, but it doesn't have to be! This talk is a practical, business-first playbook for closing the AI literacy gap—the space where initiatives stall between ad-hoc prompting and repeatable workflows. We'll map where teams typically get stuck, do a short reflection moment on how you use AI today (plus a simple QR follow-up you can try later), and introduce CLEAR AI as a lightweight bridge that helps humans and AI align on the work—not just the probability of a single answer but a system of repeatability. We'll close with three advanced business lenses fine-tuned for AI—Decision, Risk, and Workflow—that aren't “better prompts” but practical, complete systems for designing AI work that holds up in the real world.
Beyond the Loop: Designing Agents that Amplify the Human Experience
Agents can do a lot—but that’s exactly the problem. The moment you give AI the ability to take actions across tools and workflows, you don’t just scale success—you scale cost, risk, and friction. This talk is a business-first guide to deploying agents responsibly by designing for ROI and failure together, treating the human as the destination, not the safety net. We’ll break down the agent ROI equation (deciding what to automate vs. what to keep human), map the common failure patterns that ruin the user experience (drift, wrong assumptions, tool misuse, silent errors, bad handoffs), and show how to place cheap checkpoints exactly where the system will break. Attendees leave with a practical way to pick the right first agent use-case, calculate its true value, and build agent workflows that are measurable, safe, and repeatable—without needing an army of agents or a complex tech stack.
