Agile Denver's Human-Centered AI group presents "Data is the Rocket Fuel"

Kamal Maheshwari reveals why trusted data—not just advanced algorithms—determines AI success. Drawing from real-world cases in finance, healthcare, and hospitality, he shows how organizations that validate and govern their data achieve higher ROI, ethical integrity, and faster innovation. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for building data trust through quality checks, transparency, and continuous monitoring—turning uncertain data into confident, actionable intelligence.

NOTE: This will be an in-person event.

Agile & 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.

The art of Authentic Networking
Description:
Networking doesn’t have to feel awkward or transactional. In this interactive 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn practical, human-centered ways to build genuine professional relationships—whether you’re growing in your current role, exploring what’s next, or strengthening connections at work. We’ll practice how to introduce yourself beyond your job title, start and navigate conversations with confidence, network as an introvert, and use LinkedIn on your phone to connect easily. You’ll leave with simple language, real practice, and a clear next step to keep building meaningful connections.
