From Pizza to Power Moves: AI Strategies Unveiled at Lunch & Learn

On September 10th, 2024, BBB Techs was thrilled to collaborate with the Guilderland Chamber of Commerce for an engaging Lunch & Learn session on The Power of AI in Business. Held at HONE Coworks, this event brought together local business professionals eager to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the business landscape.

Our CEO, Timothy Blake, led the discussion, sharing his expertise on how businesses of all sizes can harness AI to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth. With AI rapidly becoming a crucial tool in modern business, attendees were given valuable insights into practical applications, from automating routine tasks to enhancing data-driven decision-making processes.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding AI: Timothy Blake broke down the basics of AI, demystifying the technology and showing how it's already integrated into tools businesses use every day, such as CRM systems, marketing platforms, and data analytics tools.
• AI for Efficiency: One of the core focuses was how AI can automate time-consuming tasks, allowing business leaders to focus on more strategic areas of their operations. Examples included automated data entry, intelligent customer support, and AI-powered content creation.
• Data-Driven Decisions: Timothy highlighted how AI can transform raw data into actionable insights. Tools like Power BI, which BBB Techs specializes in, are instrumental in this transformation, giving businesses a clearer picture of trends, forecasts, and performance metrics.
• Ethical Considerations: While AI offers enormous potential, Timothy also emphasized the importance of ethical AI usage. Responsible data handling and transparent AI implementations are crucial to maintaining trust with customers and stakeholders.

This session wasn’t just about theory—attendees were treated to real-world examples of how companies are leveraging AI to create competitive advantages. From streamlining workflows to improving customer experiences, AI is already reshaping industries, and businesses in the Guilderland area are no exception.

A Community of Learning

Beyond the enlightening conversation, the event also provided an excellent networking opportunity for local business leaders. Over slices of pizza (because what’s a lunch event without great food?), attendees exchanged ideas, forged new connections, and discussed how AI could help their organizations thrive in an increasingly tech-driven world.

If you missed this event, don’t worry! BBB Techs will continue to offer valuable training and seminars on topics at the cutting edge of technology and business strategy. Stay tuned for more opportunities to learn how the latest tech trends can benefit your business.
