AI4AIS26: Rewiring the Institution for AI: Aligning Work, Data, and Culture for Results
Live Event: 05/19/2026 at 2:00 PM (EDT)
As artificial intelligence reshapes higher education operations, institutional leaders must determine where and how AI can deliver meaningful impact. This session will explore how institutions can approach AI as an organizational transformation rather than a standalone technology investment. Panelists will examine how aligning strategy, workforce design, data readiness, and governance enables institutions to move from experimentation to measurable results. You’ll gain practical insight into assessing AI maturity, prioritizing use cases, and sequencing investments that improve operational efficiency, workforce experience, and student outcomes.
