Join our West Monroe experts as they show you real use cases for applying AI to your business. Topics will include: Navigating use case landmines, effective ways to implement Gen AI in your business, a deep dive on tools we've built, the impact of generative AI on software development, insights on other large language models, and our perspective on a tool-based approach versus bespoke-built solutions, and why they're both important for organizations to consider in their day-to-day business. Listen on your favorite podcast app or watch us on YouTube where we share our screen to show you how to apply these ideas to your business.
