SUMMARY:Replay: How to Use AI as a Thinking Partner
DESCRIPTION:Your AI agrees with you\, and that’s a serious problem when you want to use it for decision-making. That’s because AI tools are commercial products. So\, its goal is to keep you using it.   \nIt tends to tell you that you’re right and that you’re great – which feels good. But it’s a poor way to make a decision.  \nHowever\, it has the potential to be a great resource if it is willing to disagree with you. In this event\, our senior AI and automation advisor will show you how to get that.   \n  \nRegister now \n  \nYou’ll leave able to:  \n\nCreate a prompt that makes AI interview you first. \n\n\nGet AI to be more critical of your ideas so you can get more helpful feedback. \n\n\nSee what you are taking for granted in your decision-making process. \n\n\nSpot an answer that is technically right but wrong for your situation. \n\n  \nWho Should Attend  \n\nSmall and midmarket business owners who often weigh tough decisions\, such as whether to hire someone new \n\n\nOperations and department leaders managing competing priorities \n\n\nIT leaders and executives who use AI for tasks\, but have not had much luck with using it for decision-making \n\n  \nSave my spot \n  \nSpeakers  \nGar Whaley  \nGar Whaley is the cofounder and Chief Revenue Officer of Teal\, an award winning managed IT services company recognized in the MSP 501 for eight consecutive years. With over 30 years of experience in the technology sector\, Gar is a highly regarded expert in cybersecurity\, IT governance\, and risk management\, and holds certifications including CISSP\, CISM\, CGEIT\, CISA\, and CMMC RP.  \n  \nReid Johnston  \nReid Johnston is Teal’s Chief Intelligent Transformation Officer and cofounder\, with more than 25 years guiding small and midsize businesses through modernization and AI adoption. Reid focuses on helping leadership teams put tools to practical use in day-to-day activities.
