Are you elevating truth or perpetuating the human tragedy's playing out all around us? I don't know many leaders who don't want to influence others positively and innovate a better future. Is that your goal as a leader? Yet, collectively, we seem to be hyper-focused on AI's greatness while trampling on the very humans who have the potential to save one another, our communities, and our world. While I use design thinking as a leadership practice to help leaders make this transformation in the workplace, greater action is needed. One that goes to the very fabric of our society - the educational system. And here's what you can do to help - read and share this 👇🏻 In an era where the intersection of technology, education, and societal values is more critical than ever, we stand at a crossroads that demands our immediate attention and action. This white paper (creatively infused 18 pages), penned by a collective of visionary thinkers from The Octopus Movement, challenges the prevailing norms of our educational systems and proposes a radical reimagining of how we nurture the minds of the future. With insights drawn from the intersection of nonlinear thinking, technological evolution, and the undeniable value of human creativity, it serves as a clarion call to educators, policymakers, and individuals alike. By downloading this document, you are taking the first step towards engaging with a discourse that not only critiques the status quo but also offers a blueprint for a future where education transcends traditional boundaries, empowering the next generation to solve the complex problems of tomorrow. Join us in exploring these transformative ideas and become part of a movement dedicated to creating a world where learning is a lifelong journey of discovery and innovation.

I’m on my way to speak at Yardstick Management | Diversified Search Group’s AI Conference in Ojai Valley, CA. I’ll be joining Dr. Ebbie Parsons, III for a fireside chat: “AI’s True Promise: Empowering Creativity And Problem-Solving In Our Schools And Workplaces.” We’ll explore how AI can unlock human potential, foster innovation, and reshape education and the workplace. As we discuss AI’s role beyond efficiency—emphasizing creativity, engagement, and global solutions—I invite you to consider what AI could mean for your school. The transformative power of AI in education is undeniable, and the world is taking notice. Our mission as educators goes beyond meeting today’s standards; it's about empowering our students to tackle tomorrow’s challenges. In a future economy driven by AI, we must transform our classrooms into incubators of innovation and creativity. Let's inspire our students to harness AI, leading the next wave of global problem solvers, and prepare them to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Book a call with me now to transform your school while there’s still time. Let’s prepare our future leaders together. #AI #education #teachers #principals #conference https://lnkd.in/eKnuT_QJ

I've just leveled up my skills with MIT's Professional Certificate in Digital Transformation! Finishing a nine-month program at MIT Professional Education wasn't easy. It took resilience, late nights, and plenty of coffee. But the relief of crossing that finish line was incredible. This course has validated the path I've been on for the last three years. It’s taught me that digital transformation isn't just about tech—it's about adapting, evolving, and staying ahead in a rapidly changing world. Now, I'm excited to bring these insights into everyday GenAI deployments for businesses and individuals. Have you ever pushed through a challenging learning experience? What helped you stay resilient? How do you apply new skills in your daily work? Reach out if you want to know more. MIT Professional Education #Empower #Humanity #Technology

In my last post https://bit.ly/48wja7T, I asked for recommendations on how and where to learn more about genAI. This week the Coursera leaders Andrew Ng & Jeff Maggioncalda heard that call from 'us', announcing two new #learning trajectories - one for organizations' employees and another targeting CEOs. I wanted to share this news with fellow genAI enthusiasts and perpetual learners like me, or for those who are looking for guidance on how to integrate the capabilities within workflows (keeping in mind ethical, security & privacy concerns). Here they are: 1. There's the GenAI Academy https://bit.ly/48RW6jx, which is a set of curated courses across the spectrum on genAI for employees in organizations via Coursera Business. If you're not an org but simply a person wishing to do them, you can follow each of the courses individually because they list them all. The prompt engineering courses I've evangelized about, led by Jules White of Vanderbilt University, are included in the set (something I also suggested in my previous post)! I'm happy to see I have a jumpstart on completing this academy. 2. Then there's the new learning trajectory for CEOs and C-Suite leaders: https://bit.ly/4b9IDWv on creating customer value and boosting productivity, among others. Note that this playbook of courses is also included in the above set of curated courses for organizations.

🚀 Excited to share that I've successfully completed the Post Graduate Program in Artificial Intelligence for Leaders! 🎓 In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, understanding and leveraging AI is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. That's why I took the initiative to deepen my knowledge and skills in this transformative field. Over the past several months, I've delved into the intricacies of AI and Data Science, all without having to write a single line of code. Thanks to the comprehensive curriculum of the program, I now have a solid understanding of how AI can be applied to drive business success. One of the highlights of the program was learning about the power of no-code platforms in creating software applications and processes. These platforms not only streamline operations but also empower businesses to innovate at an unprecedented pace. I firmly believe that the success of AI initiatives in any organization hinges on strong leadership. That's why I'm thrilled to have gained the knowledge and skills necessary to lead AI-driven transformations in my role. Whether you're a product manager, director, CXO, or team lead, I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to unlock the full potential of AI in their organization. A big thank you to The University of Texas at Austin and Great Learning for providing such valuable insights and resources. Here's to a future powered by AI innovation! 🌟 #AIforLeaders #NoCodeAI #BusinessTransformation
