THIS WEBINAR IS PART OF OUR ROAD 2 CONFERENCE - A webinar series leading up to our San Diego Supply Chain Conference 2026

This "AI for Productivity" session provides a clear, practical introduction to modern AI tools and how to use them effectively. Rather than focusing on technical theory, this webinar emphasizes real-world application, including how to write effective prompts, collaborate with AI models in feedback loops, and apply AI tools to professional tasks like research, analysis, content creation, and workflow improvement.

Attendees will leave with a grounded understanding of today’s AI landscape and a practical framework for integrating AI into their daily work responsibly and strategically.

Takeaways:

• Understand the current AI ecosystem (LLMs, agents, generative tools)
• Write clearer, more effective prompts
• Use iterative workflows instead of one-off requests
• Identify and mitigate AI risks (hallucinations, overconfidence, data issues)
• Apply AI to real business and operational challenges
