AI in Leadership Program at University

AI at University
Dan Corbett, Management Consultant, Canada
Marietjie, thanks for your response to my inquiry on the use of AI in a university. What I have done so far, is to run a strengths based workshop for the senior leadership team at a university here in Canada. This week, I am following up with one on one interviews with participants. The topic is how to advance the "innovation" agenda which has been identified in the strategic plan.

The process that we follow is to ensure that staff/participants apply the AI research/methodology to enhance their immediate work environment.
That makes it more applicable to the research.
I presume that you make use of the soar to establish the existing strengths. This was used by one of our participants to do the strategic planning in the education department (faculty) to establish a new direction in research and teaching.
What is also useful is to acknowledge the "shadow" - (problem area's) and to also appreciate that. Although this may seem strange - it was proven that a new perspective on problem areas assist to manage these areas in a more constructive way. In many cases, problems lead to more innovative and creative ideas to solve - during the dream phase corrections are given to most of the problems - but then with the intention to solve.
Good luck. We have started our third year now.
