SUMMARY:12/3 Lunch N Learn: Unmasking the Hidden Biases in Tech: Optimizing Hardware and Software Development & Deployment
DESCRIPTION:We tend to think that the development and deployment of technology is objective\, cold\, and dispassionate. But it is not! Technology is built by humans. And all humans are biased. So\, bias both impacts the way we build technology AND is built into our technology. This has been proven by research performed by organizations such as the World Economic Forum\, MIT\, and others.  \nIn this eye-opening workshop\, we’ll explore the often-overlooked biases that can significantly impact the development and deployment of hardware and software technologies. Participants will gain a deep understanding of cognitive\, social attribution\, and perception biases that unconsciously impact the tech industry. \nThrough interactive exercises and case studies\, attendees will develop practical skills to recognize and address biases in their own work. This workshop is essential for CTOs\, product managers\, developers\, and anyone involved in creating or implementing technology solutions. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n\n Identify common biases such as algorithmic bias\, sampling bias\, and sunken cost fallacy\n Understand how these biases can lead to inefficient development and outcomes that are not optimal\n Identify strategies to mitigate biases in the development process\, algorithm design\, and user interface development\n\nJoin us to learn how to optimize development and deployment so that your company thrives and your users are excited. \nSponsored By \n      \n

SUMMARY:12/15 Beyond the Buzz: The Unspoken Realities of Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world. But beneath its glossy exterior lie unsettling truths that demand scrutiny. Join us as we uncover the “dirty secrets” of AI\, exploring its hidden flaws\, ethical dilemmas\, and human dependencies. Participants will gain insight into the vulnerabilities and societal impacts of AI technologies. We’ll discuss how biases creep into algorithms\, the risks of misinformation from AI hallucinations\, and the exploitation of nuanced insights for profit. Through engaging discussions and real-world examples\, attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of AI’s limitations and the critical questions we must ask as it continues to shape our technological future.

SUMMARY:2/5/2026 Critical Thinking: Sharpen your Problem Solving and Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:Are you having problems making decisions? Does it take too long to solve problems? How would you like to make 87% better decisions leading to 3.5 times likelihood that you will experience faster growth?\n“Critical thinking is\, in short\, self-directed\, self-disciplined\, self-monitored\, and self-corrective thinking. It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem-solving abilities and a commitment to overcome our native egocentrism and sociocentrism.” (Taken from Richard Paul and Linda Elder\, The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools\, Foundation for Critical Thinking Press\, 2008)  \nThis online workshop will explore best practices with regard to critical thinking and offer practical methods and strategies to intentionally adopt this approach and improve the way one thinks. Participants will explore assessment and evaluation\, problem-solving and decision-making\, through practical discussion and application during the session. \nThis course has been approved for SHRM PDCs.
