How to build the data foundation required to stop playing and start scaling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is your business artificial intelligence (AI) ready? Too many people use AI like a glorified search or auto complete without doing the necessary steps first. By the time most businesses figure it out, they are getting lapped by those who used a different approach from the start.<\/p>\n

In this session, you will learn about data cleanliness, internal processes and governance, using your data to train the tools, and how to use AI with end goals in mind.<\/p>\n

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: <\/span>CHRIS THEISEN<\/h4>\n

I am a B2B Tech Stack Strategist who specializes in integrating marketing and sales systems to drive efficiency and growth. For over a decade, I\u2019ve focused on the hard part: translating go-to-market strategies into the real-world processes and technology that allow businesses to scale without the grueling hours of human intervention. I fix the messy, disconnected systems that kill productivity and obscure the data you need to make sound decisions.<\/p>\n

I live in a home on a brick street in Old Town Noblesville that is over 160 years old and sits within a National Historic District. My wife and I love anything historic or antique; exploring historic towns and areas, antique stores and supporting their small businesses. I’m a community advocate and love to support and volunteer for organizations and events that make our downtown the unique place it is. I’m a sports junky and have newly been enthralled by the Darts World Championship. I enjoy craft beer, even though my wife thinks it all tastes like “rubber tires”, and local coffee shops if they have a good dark roast.<\/p>\n
