AI tools have never been more accessible, and that's exactly what makes a leader's job harder. When any team member can spin up a machine learning model, generate a dashboard, or run a SQL query with a single prompt, the question shifts from "are we using AI?" to "are we using it well?" Most leaders aren't yet equipped to spot the difference between work that looks technically impressive and work that's actually safe, accurate, and valuable.
In this session, you'll develop a clear model for what genuine AI fluency looks like across a data team, drawing on the latest research, and you'll walk away with practical tools for assessing where your team sits on the fluency spectrum, coaching those who aren't yet working safely or efficiently, and upskilling the team as a whole. Building an AI-fluent team is a leadership capability, and this session will show you how to build it.
What you'll learn
Apply a structured AI fluency framework to assess and monitor your team's real capabilities
The framework covers every data function on your team (BI analysts, data analysts, data scientists, and data engineers) and focuses on lasting capabilities like task delegation, risk mitigation, and output evaluation that stay relevant regardless of the latest model release.
Adopt a modern leadership coaching model built for the post-AI workplace
Coaching technical skills was hard enough before AI changed how the work gets done. This session gives you the language and tools to actively support, nurture, and develop your team's AI capabilities.
Recognize the hidden costs of AI-accelerated work before they affect team performance
Faster output isn't free. The cognitive load of frequent context switching and the emerging risk of AI burnout are real costs you can monitor and manage if you know what to watch for.
Spot AI laggards on your team and close the gap before it becomes a performance problem
Team members who reject AI or aren't yet working safely or effectively will quietly fall behind. Targete
