AI Readiness Training

Early Bird, up to 2 months before the start of the seminar

Understanding artificial intelligence and integrating it into your business​

No longer the exclusivity of the big tech companies, AI is driving the next wave of digitalisation.

Many companies are already leveraging Machine Learning to solve problems too complex for traditional programming and the pace of research points to an even bigger shift in the coming years.

Through the availability of online tools from the likes of Google and IBM as well as Open Source projects, this technology is now available to any company.

A common mistake is to view AI as a purely technical problem. Like digitalisation before it, AI will change the way we work and how we conceive products and business processes. Everyone involved in building or commissioning software – whether in-house or consumer facing – needs to understand AI and how they can apply it in order to reinvent their business in the light of these new possibilities.

Equipping you with those skills is the goal of this training.

Our trainers have solid theoretical knowledge and practical experience in AI-related projects and integrations. They accompany you to make your company “AI Ready”.

 

What you will experience during the “AI Readiness Training” seminar

Our “AI Readiness Training” seminar is based on methods developed within the impactIA foundation, with the help of our 21 multidisciplinary experts who work to make artificial intelligence a positive impact in the workplace.

In this interactive seminar you will learn how to :

  • Develop a vision of the potentials and stakes, as well as a general knowledge of AI.
  • Identify the possible integrations of AI in different sectors on a daily basis.
  • Develop an agility of thought to understand the changes related to AI in a short – medium – long term vision.

“In order to become AI first, everybody needs to have literacy in AI, from a product manager thinking about the problem through to a developer, a data scientist and the production teams. Once you have that, you can start to incorporate AI into almost any business problem.

This training is for you if:

  • As an executive, entrepreneur or manager, you want to turn artificial intelligence into a differentiating force.
  • You want to improve the efficiency of your organisation, optimise your processes and develop innovations.
  • You want to implement AI projects.
  • You manage projects integrating AI or would like to integrate AI, internally or externally.
  • You manage multidisciplinary teams.
  • You wish to deepen your experience and knowledge in the field of AI.
  • As a consultant or trainer, you wish to deepen your methodological knowledge.

No prior knowledge of artificial intelligence is required for the AI Readiness Training seminar. For technical teams (IT developers, UX,…), we offer an AI Readiness Masterclass.

The AI training given by impactIA was a real “eye opener” on the potential of AI for SMEs in Switzerland. Paced in the right way, with very concrete examples. I highly recommend this training to any entrepreneur and professional who wishes to proactively seize the opportunities of this revolution and implement it in their company
