AI Strategy & Your Role as a Non-Technical Leader

AI transformation requires more than technology experts. In this interactive half-day workshop, Ally Ross of Saig Advice, Pam Howland of Idaho Employment Lawyers, and Shannon Rush-Call of Strelo Group bring three complementary perspectives: AI strategy and governance, employment law, and organizational change. You will learn how to understand your organization's AI maturity, navigate legal and ethical risk, identify the right stakeholders, and help lead responsible AI adoption. No technical background is required.

What's included

• Your AI Maturity Snapshot: assess where your organization currently stands using a five-stage maturity model across seven key dimensions
• Legal and ethical awareness: better understand the legal, ethical, and workforce concerns that emerge as AI becomes part of everyday decision-making
• A stakeholder framework: identify who needs to be involved in your organization's AI journey and how different leaders and functions fit into the conversation
• A clear next step: leave with a practical first step you can take back to your organization the very next morning

Who this is for

HR professionals and other non-technical leaders. AI decisions shape how people are hired, managed, evaluated, supported, and developed, which means you have an important role to play in how AI is selected, governed, and understood across your organization. This workshop gives you the understanding, context, and practical tools to participate confidently in those decisions.

Come prepared

This is a workshop, not a lecture. Every section pairs practical content with discussion or application, including an AI maturity self-assessment, stakeholder mapping, and table conversations. Doors open at 8:30am. Lunch is included, with vegetarian options available.
