Members-Only Meetings: Tory Burch on Sustainability, GenAI 301

We regularly convene IL members for discussions on topics of interest — which members suggest. These meetings take place on Zoom, and they are designed to be candid conversations among peers, as opposed to passive webcasts. If you’re a current IL member and are logged in, you will see a short registration form (or calendar links) beneath the description of each meeting. We always like to hear suggestions for future meeting topics from our members.

For a complete calendar of all of our in-person and online gatherings, please visit our events page.

January 10th at 1 PM ET: GenAI 301 — Creating Product Concepts in 10% of the Time & Cost  

Have you wondered what’s the big deal with Generative AI?  Or maybe you think you have to build a big platform and train it over a lot of data.  The reality is that with ChatGPT or Microsoft Co-Pilot you can create dramatic improvements for your business.  Enough to give yourself a competitive advantage.  Learn how to unlock the potential of GenAI through the example of Product Concept creation. This workshop will demonstrate how leveraging advanced AI technologies can drastically reduce the time and cost associated with creating new product concepts, while simultaneously increasing accuracy and innovation. It will be led by Hugh Jedwill, formerly a Kimberly-Clark Innovation Leader for North America; founder of several mobile startups; a brand manager at Procter & Gamble; and a strategic initiatives manager at Kraft Heinz.

Key Takeaways:

• Accelerate Concept Creation: Learn how generative AI can help you develop product concepts in a fraction of the time traditionally required.
• Cost Efficiency: Discover strategies to minimize costs through AI-driven automation and optimization.
• Enhanced Accuracy: Understand how AI can improve the precision and relevance of your product concepts by analyzing vast amounts of data and predicting market trends.
• Practical Applications: Use real world data to show how GenAI can successfully transform product/service development…and many other areas.
• Build Concepts in 1-10% of the current time: The workshop title only has 10% because it’s hard to believe something that took 45 days can take just 4.5 minutes.

Who Should Attend: This workshop is ideal for any business leaders involved in the product development lifecycle who is looking to harness the power of AI to drive innovation and efficiency.
