Webinar Details
AI is no longer a future concept—it’s already shaping how work gets done. But for many professionals, especially those working in risk-aware, compliance-focused environments,
the real challenge isn’t what AI is—it’s how to engage with it confidently and responsibly. In this engaging, fast-paced webinar, Jamie Champagne cuts through the hype and fear
surrounding AI and focuses on what actually matters: practical use, real business value, and smart conversations with leadership. You’ll see live, approachable demonstrations of AI tools in action—not as a deep technical dive, but as clear examples of how AI can support everyday work like analysis, reporting, decision support, and workflow efficiency.
This session is designed for people who want to engage with technology—not avoid it or work around it. Whether you’re AI-curious, just getting started, or trying to make sense of where AI fits in your organization, you’ll leave with concrete examples, simple starting points, and the language to confidently discuss AI with your boss, your team, and key stakeholders.
No jargon. No pressure to “be an AI expert.” Just clarity, confidence, and tools you can actually use.
What You’ll Walk Away With
- A clear way to reframe AI from “shiny object” to practical business value
- Live demonstrations showing easy, low-risk ways AI can support real work today
- Simple tools and entry points for responsibly introducing AI into your workflow
- Two adaptable structures for building or evaluating AI business cases—whether you’re experimenting or planning future investments
