Module 3 : Creating Powerful AI Agents
With AI, too many organizations are focused on automating work to remove people. It’s not only naive and short-sighted. It’s dangerous. It’s why the vast majority of AI projects fail. Running too far, too fast with AI without really knowing how it works or what the real risks are. At Blast, we see a different way. Innovate with AI to do things people can’t easily do that take our lived experience to a whole new level. Download our case on Thunder 2.0.

Module 5 : Calibrating your AI journey
No doubt, today’s AI platforms run on some crazy complex algorithms. But we don’t. And you don’t need to. The reality is there is a big difference between the analytics AI needs to function and what we need to use to create value and empower people. Simple analytics are often times much more effective than advanced analytics to solve complex problems. Download our primer on simple analytics to see the difference and why simple analytics are so powerful - especially in the age of AI.

Human First AI Challenge: Getting ready
If you think data analytics are powerful and are looking to go to the next level, it’s time to explore the power of art in strategic decision-making. From visualization to story-telling and role-plays, creative practices have the unique power of capturing and explaining the most complex situations and enabling better decision-making. Download or Blast Brief on the power of Visualization to see how we use art to engage teams and solve problems that the most advanced data analytics can’t handle.
