Session: AI adoption in non-technical teams: Where to start
While most AI case studies spotlight engineering teams, this session offers a practical blueprint for policy, legal, and communications professionals—where data is complex, workflows center on documents, and risk management is critical.
Drawing from real implementation experience at a global mobility company, I'll walk through how we shifted from ad-hoc experimentation to delivering consistent value across non-technical functions:
Readiness Assessment — Pinpoint high-impact workflows; map out data touchpoints and navigate constraints like GDPR and confidentiality requirements.
Establish Guardrails Early — Build streamlined AI policies, set privacy boundaries, conduct red-teaming exercises, and create approval processes that enable rather than obstruct progress.
Equip Business Users — Select essential tools, create secure work environments, and develop prompt libraries tailored to actual job functions.
Test and Expand — Run six-week cycles with designated owners, clear adoption goals, and concrete success criteria covering quality, efficiency gains, and risk mitigation.
Drive Adoption — Identify champions, design effective training, maintain communication rhythms, and track meaningful impact beyond surface-level metrics.
Real-world examples include ministerial briefings and stakeholder correspondence, regulatory monitoring, press content development, multilingual research consolidation, and meeting coordination.
You'll walk away with ready-to-use templates and insights on common pitfalls—data exposure risks, accuracy issues, and the dangers of excessive automation.
