This workshop introduces the Whiting School of Engineering’s structured innovation process to discover valuable problems—particularly those that may disrupt an industry or business model in the future.

Technology Trends and Disruptors

Is your business about to be disrupted by revolutionary new technologies or disruptive business models?

This workshop draws on the subject matter expertise of Whiting School of Engineering faculty to identify, explain, and prioritize emerging tech trends, their implications, and why they may be relevant to your organization, your competitive position, or your overall strategy.

Implementing AI in the Organization

This workshop focuses on the successful implementation of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and large language models/GPTs in a wide range of applications (e.g., customer service, product development, marketing, sales, and ) and across industries. It includes real-world examples and case studies of successful AI efforts.

Communications for Technologists

Technologists are great at coming up with new solutions but often struggle to communicate them to non-technical audiences.

This workshop helps technologists and tech managers to more effectively communicate complex concepts, and to better market them to non-technical audiences. It draws on WSE faculty experienced in teaching communications for engineers, scientists, and tech executives.
