Most organizations implement AI with a top-down approach—and fail. Join thought leader Steve Wunker for an interactive evening exploring why successful AI deployment must be predicated on jobs-to-be-done.
What You'll Learn:
- How to apply the Jobs to be Done framework to AI strategy (not just product design)
- Why distributed intelligence matters so much in AI-infused organizations, and what Product can do about it
- The "Octopus Organization" model: lessons from a 300-million-year-old creature with 9 brains and stunning adaptability
- How to navigate organizational tensions around AI adoption, role convergence, and authority devolution
Format: This isn't a lecture—it's a conversation. We'll alternate between Steve's framework presentations and structured roundtable discussions where you'll apply these concepts to your real organizational challenges.
