Are you utilizing any specific checklists or protocols within your projects or company to assess your readiness for working with Generative AI data? I'm curious to know what strategies or tools you've implemented to prepare for integrating Gen AI into your workflows. Please share your approaches in the comments below! Saving Changes...
At this point, my organization does not have a policy to govern use of AI technologies in our workplace. We recently purchased Monday.com for our task management platform, which has an AI assistant, but we haven't been able to enable it yet due to lack of a governance policy. Personally, I think our organization needs to move faster in this regard. Saving Changes...

In evaluating readiness for integrating Generative AI data into our supply chain Ops IT projects, we employed several checklists and protocols to ensure a smooth transition. Some strategies and tools include:
Data Quality Assessment: We assess the quality and reliability of existing data sources to ensure they meet the standards required for Generative AI analysis.
Data Security Measures:
Implementing robust data security measures is paramount, especially when integrating Generative AI into supply chain IT projects. Our approach begins with assessing the types of data sources we utilize, whether they are public, SaaS-based, or cloud-based secured ones. In our case, we have opted for cloud-based secured types to ensure the highest level of data security throughout the integration process.
However, it's worth noting that this approach can be costly, particularly during the initial stages of experimenting and adopting new Generative AI models within the firm. Despite the expense, we believe that prioritising data security is essential to safeguard sensitive information and maintain the trust of our stakeholder.
Resource Allocation: Ensuring that the necessary resources, including hardware, software, and human expertise, are allocated to support the integration of Generative AI.
We experienced, human expertise played a pivotal role.
Training and Education: Providing training sessions and educational resources to equip team members with the knowledge and skills required to work effectively with Generative AI technologies.
Testing and Validation: Conducting rigorous testing and validation processes to verify the accuracy and efficacy of Generative AI models before full-scale improvement.
Risk Assessment: Though, the area is totally new terrain to play, Identifying potential risks and developing mitigation strategies to address any challenges or obstacles that may arise during the integration process. Saving Changes...
Our company is exploring the future of AI within our organization and I am taking a proactive approach to learn more about the different strategies other have employed in their organization. In addition, I am learning more about how to utilize ChatGPT as an assistant to increase productivity and promote better project outcomes. Saving Changes...

Unfortunately I haven't had any experience with using AI but this training is so helpful! Its an eye opener. Saving Changes...
As Claudia, I'm working as a Project Management Consultan, but specifically my work is to build a Project Management Methodology (PMM), in this case I follow a specific procedure, which consider define the objetives (aligned with the enterprise strategic goals), analyze the current practices, develop the PMM version 1, implement the PMM (include training), using a project pilot, define and develop metrics, specially KPI's, and finally tunning the PMM. In this context I consider the AI will be very useful in each step; for example, in the beginning, when I capture information about the company and their procedures. Saving Changes...

We currently are not using any checklists or protocols specifically focused on AI; however, we have an internal staff member dedicated to exploring different AI tools as well as AI functions and features that are being embedded into the tools that we are already using. Associated with this exploration, as AI features and tools are determined to be helpful in our business operations, we are developing some guidelines and policies for their use to try to maintain consistency across the company. Project management techniques, approaches, and toolsets are included in our exploration.
