Session Overview

Join us for the GOOD Network's April program, where we will explore how OD professionals can harness the power of AI to enhance efficiency, boost productivity, and provide valuable assistance in both personal and professional settings. We will dispel common myths—AI isn’t here to replace you but to empower you—by showing how it can streamline tasks, generate insights, and free up time for more strategic and transformative work. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how AI can be a game-changer for your OD practice!

In this session we will:
