Operationalizing Intelligence

Beyond Tools: Transforming Organizational Thinking in the Age of AI

Operationalizing Intelligence Workshop (Tuesdays July 14-28)

 

Enterprises are rapidly deploying artificial intelligence (AI), yet effective adoption requires more than new tools—it demands a transformation in how organizations think.

In the age of AI, true business value comes from integrating human judgment with machine capabilities. Success depends on aligning AI with the organization’s context, workforce thinking capacity, and strategic goals. No longer is improvement purely about refining processes; today, it’s about cultivating effective thinking at all levels—man and machine working together. Product and service value now reflect the quality of context-driven organizational thinking—how knowledge is transformed and consolidated into outcomes.

Operationalizing Intelligence is a holistic framework and webinar series that embraces a different approach to AI adoption. Rather than focusing solely on tools, it examines where and how thinking—human, machine, and hybrid—adds measurable value. Grounded in RIT’s Applied Critical Thinking (ACT) methodology, the program equips leaders with practical methods to assess their organization’s current thinking context, evaluate decision-making capacity, and make informed strategic choices about AI.

YOU CANNOT REDESIGN WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE!  WE ARE GOING TO SURFACE YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL THINKING CAPACITY! 

Participants will leave with concrete frameworks to determine where AI-assisted thinking belongs in their enterprise, how to strengthen human critical thought and oversight, and how to plan next steps with confidence and discipline.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This webinar series is designed for professionals in small to medium sized organizations where the quality of organizational thinking and expertise drives value. Have you ever considered that your workflows are actually also thinking flows? Where you are driving value through expertise you create (or don't!)?

  • Senior leaders who must strategize for AI adoption, governance, and organizational change
  • Project leaders tasked with moving the needle on real operational value where human judgment and AI outputs must work together
  • Process leaders who need a shared decision framework, not just better tools
  • Orchestrators responsible for capacity and trust in AI‑augmented decisions

 

FORMAT & OUTCOMES: Three 2-hour synchronous Zoom sessions (July 14, 21, 28 @6p-8p ET)

Session 1: Mapping How Your Organization Thinks

  • Participants will be able to map their organization’s core decision pathways and identify points where thinking and decision quality is strengthened or weakened by information flow and judgment gaps.

Session 2: Making Organizational Thinking Visible

  • Participants will produce a diagnostic map of at least one key workflow, clearly identifying where human judgment adds value, where AI can be introduced, and where gaps remain.

Session 3: Building a Practical AI Decision Playbook

  • Participants will leave with a structured playbook to assess AI use cases and define decision rights, accountability, and risk controls when AI is part of the decision process.

Optional 1-1: Think-Flow Framework Review (additional $200)

  • Participants will get an hour with Dr. Jen Schneider for a live, hands-on, 1:1 review after the course ends. Participants will engage in a personalized review of key workflow and decision pathways, identifying where information flows, human judgment impedes, and inefficiencies impact outcomes.

 

You won’t leave with a list of tools. You’ll leave with the ability to make better decisions about AI—now and as capabilities evolve.
