SUMMARY:AI Leadership Sprint
DESCRIPTION:Part of WA AI HUB Leadership Forum and Sprint 2026\, a West Tech Fest event. \n\n\n\n\nAI is now writing reports\, drafting decisions\, and making recommendations inside organisations every day. The hard part is not using the tools. It is knowing when to trust AI’s output and when to push back. \nThe AI Leadership Sprint is a hands-on\, two-hour boardroom simulation. You will not sit and listen to slides. You will work through a realistic scenario with your peers to learn how to spot when AI is confidently wrong\, ask the right questions of any output\, and set clear rules for how your team relies on it. \nWhat you will take home: \n\nFive-Step Method → A simple process to check and challenge AI outputs.\nOne-Page Guide → Outlines who signs off on decisions.\nEscalation Rules → Defines when a decision must be escalated.\nTeam Boundaries → Clear limits your team will not cross.\n\nWho this training is for: \n\nFounders → Build smarter products and scale responsibly with AI.\nBusiness Owners → Streamline operations and unlock growth.\nExecutives → Shape governance\, accountability\, and strategic adoption.\nGovernment Leaders → Drive policy\, compliance\, and public-sector innovation
