Triad Dev Connect 07/29/2026
Details
## Overview
A meetup for developers, UX/UI professionals, and digital creatives in the Triad.
Topic: Positioning AI for Success: Strategy and Governance in the Real World
Most everyone is using AI in some capacity these days. However, the value people get can vary dramatically. McKinsey recently found that while 88% of companies are using AI, only 6% are seeing a measurable impact on the bottom line.
We'll discuss a methodology to close that gap, looking at two things that are often overlooked but are extremely valuable.
- Setting an AI strategy you can state in a few sentences
- Governance that keeps AI safe to use without slowing everyone down
We'll also discuss where a human belongs in an AI workflow, and how to trust what the system produces.
The examples we'll talk about come from real work across industries like manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and nonprofit. We'll discuss a practical framework you can use, whatever your role, to get more value from the AI you're already using.
