Teamup with AI

The Power of AI for Business Strategies
In today’s dynamic business landscape, leveraging AI is essential. Since ChatGPT's release, I’ve pursued continuous learning through hands-on experience and certifications. This has enabled me to build a system that effectively enhances business strategies using AI.

AI's Tremendous Impact on Innovation
AI significantly enhances various aspects of business strategy: data-driven decision making, where AI tools like ChatGPT analyze complex data sets to provide actionable insights; innovation and creativity, with AI generating new ideas, improving brainstorming sessions, and enhancing problem-solving capabilities; and of course daily productivity.

AI for Business - Trainings/Workshops
I've designed and run training sessions and workshops revolving around AI for business, both independently and in collaboration with Bryan Cassady, professor of innovation (EDHEC etc). Participants have gained hands-on experience with AI practices and tools. 

Prompt Engineering is a Good Start
Prompt engineering is an excellent starting point for utilizing AI, akin to learning grammar before mastering a foreign language. As part of the 'Team up with AI' section of the ADAPT & FLY System, it provides a solid foundation that enhances performance in other modules, ensuring effective use of AI for business strategies.
