AI Alignment
Workshop.
A 3-day strategic & hands-on workshop for operations leaders ready to move beyond experimentation. 70% of workshop time is dedicated to hands-on execution and problem solving.
The "Build an AI Project in 80 Minutes" session at IISE Annual 2026 is first-come, first-served — no registration required. Show up, grab a seat, and build something real. Seating is limited to the room capacity.
Designed for Leaders Ready to Act
AI Alignment is a focused, working session designed for operational, engineering, IT, and business leaders who are ready to launch practical AI initiatives. This workshop ensures teams share common terminology, identify high-value operational use cases, and leave with defined project charters for immediate execution. The emphasis is not on theory alone — but on collaboration, alignment, and structured action planning.
- Level-set AI terminology across technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Identify high-value operational AI use cases aligned with business strategy
- Experience hands-on AI tools across text, code, voice, and vision
- Design initial workflows and agents relevant to your operations
- Develop 2–3 structured AI Project Charters for immediate prioritization
- Align IT, Engineering, and Operations on governance and execution
