Three-Day AI Workshop: Summary Report (10–12 December)

Overview

Over three days (10–12 December), I participated in an intensive AI workshop focused on applications of Artificial Intelligence in management, operations, strategy, and digital transformation. The workshop blended conceptual learning, hands-on experimentation with AI tools, and the development of practical academic artefacts such as case studies, presentations, quizzes, and course outlines.
It had a deep engagement with AI for teaching, content creation, operations management, and strategic decision-making.
