Navigating AI Projects: Mastering the 7 Critical Patterns for Success

Understand and speed up your AI solutions using the Seven Patterns of AI, a standardized method, adopted by the OECD and included as the standard definition of AI within the EU AI Act. The Seven Patterns categorizes AI applications into distinct patterns: Recognition, Conversational, Patterns and Anomalies, Predictive Analytics, Goal-Driven Systems, Hyperpersonalization, and Autonomous Systems.

Each pattern offers a distinct approach on applying AI to solve complex problems, enhance decision-making processes, and create personalized experiences. Through real-world examples, participants will gain insights into the practical applications of these patterns across various industries. Whether you're looking to optimize operations, enhance customer engagement, or drive strategic initiatives, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to leverage the full potential of AI in your organization.

When was the last time you encouraged someone else? When did you last lift someone else up? When did you take time to sit beside someone in a dark moment or speak up for someone when their voice was not being heard? When did you last have to stand your ground? Any one of these, big or small, are all examples of leading beyond limits. As Women in Project Management Leadership, we have had to change the way we do things over the years. And recent years have surfaced plenty of challenges, setbacks, and more their own fair share of hurdles. But many things that have always worked, still work today. And some things that we’ve learned recently can set us up for even greater success.

Prepare to be inspired as Sinikka Waugh takes us through a journey of stories that demonstrate a handful of key principles for leading beyond limits.

• Gain practical, tactical ways to grow your emotional intelligence.
• Practice differentiating between your positional power and your personal power, and see how using both can help make the world around you sparkle a little brighter.
• Gain tools to use your acumen to return value to stakeholders in a tangible way, so that you can help them stand a little taller, let their burden be a little lighter, and tune their hum to be just a little brighter.

Because when we work together for a common good, and when we do good together and do it well, we are simply amazing. We motivate, influence, accomplish, inspire, achieve, develop, and draw around us a continually growing positive force who does the same. As leaders, we are limitless!
