Executive Education Intelligence Series: AI for the Busy Professional
Using AI to Tip the Productivity Equation
Dr. Ashley Metcalf kicked off the AI workshop by discussing the simple equation PRODUCTIVITY = OUTPUT, noting that companies using AI tools and other technologies can improve productivity.
鈥淎I tools may help you improve the quality and quantity of your outputs without additional time or energy,鈥 she noted.
鈥淭his might involve delegating, eliminating unnecessary tasks, using AI tools to reduce your mental energy load, or optimizing workflows. Productivity isn鈥檛 a one-size-fits-all concept. It鈥檚 about making intelligent choices and adjustments to either side of the equation."
