Discussion Topics:

• Where to use AI to enhance a product or service
• When to build AI as a product or service

According to a recent report by PwC, 67 percent of executives in the U.S. think AI will help humans and machines work together to be stronger, smarter and more efficient. But all of these innovations are meaningless without the right talent to put it to use.

Success in digital transformation requires not only investing in new technology but also in developing new skills.  This is one of the key reasons Niall McKinney (LinkedIn profile) of AVADO believes AI can have a significant impact in L&D, and not just in manufacturing/R&D.

In this webinar, Niall will discuss strategies L&D leaders can consider while preparing to reskill their workforces to overcome challenges posed by the fourth major Industrial Revolution.

Gain insight into:

• Whether AI for learning is hype or reality
• The key terms and jargon around AI and data science
• How AI in L&D can result in faster learning and the retention of knowledge for longer periods
• How to utilize the expertise of L&D professionals to properly identify where the talent gaps are so there can be productive conversations around how AI can help address them
• The transparency and measurability of data and AI driven learning

Presenter: Niall McKinney is a leader in blue-chip companies, and a VC-backed founder who built a multi-national business to successful sale and exit, and holds extensive experience of leading digital transformation and organizational change.  Niall is a keynote speaker on digital transformation, digital excellence and organizational agility. He has spoken at over 200 events including the Cannes Lions, Ad:tech, Advertising Week, and around the world on behalf of Google.
