About this Event
You’ve heard about AI, but you’re still not 100% sure where, or how it can help your business. And you’ve probably heard the line that any business not using AI now will be left behind in five years and outmanoeuvred by more sophisticated competitors.
But what really is AI?
Could it help your business raise the bar, power growth, and supercharge your bottom line?
What are the real-world applications of AI, and not just ChatGPT?
What can it do for you and how much time or money might you need to invest?
And crucially, what benefits should you expect?
Navigating AI for Businesses: start right, lead well, develop success, organised and hosted by Wigan & Leigh College, in collaboration with the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and Wigan Business: Inspiring Innovation, aims to address questions such as these.
We are delighted to have AI business integration expert James Crawford of Touchpoint Change Consulting with us leading the event, who will introduce and navigate the world of AI for businesses.
