Talking GenAI in the Shoals

Part of the ThinkData Solutions team recently took a trip up to Florence, Alabama, where our CEO, Robin Hunt, had a speaking engagement at the Shoals SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) chapter.

It was a great time, as Claudia Powell, Programs and Engagement Specialist, and Mark Pretnar, Corporate Development, are always a blast to be around. They love data and they love what we do! We asked them to share reflections of the things that they took away from that little trip to Florence to discuss Data and AI.

“With AI becoming more accessible and integrated into so many commonly used tools, like M365, people are finding more ways to use itin their work life,” says Claudia. “Company leadership needs to determine policies and guidelines to ensure productivity and make sure these tools are used securely.”

“Don’t be afraid to try the technology.” says Mark. “So often in our work life we can be slow to adopt technology, and it hasn’t had that much of a measurable impact. These tools are not that. The pace and power at which they are performing and improving, you really can’t afford to not expose yourself to finding ways to leverage them for your benefit.”

“If you don’t give yourself the foundational basics of digital literacy today so that you can embrace the automation tools that every single vendor in the world is going to implement in their products, you will get left behind,” adds Mark.
