Join Bridges Academy for a Lunch & Learn with Greta Blash focused on PMI-CPMAI, data preparation, and the role project managers and business analysts play in successful AI initiatives.

This session will explore why data readiness, quality, governance, and preparation are essential before organizations can achieve meaningful AI outcomes.

Artificial intelligence initiatives do not succeed on tools alone. They depend on clear business goals, usable data, sound governance, and project teams that understand how to prepare the organization for AI-enabled work.

In this session, Greta will discuss why the data preparation phase deserves more attention in AI initiatives and what project managers, business analysts, PMO leaders, and chapter members should understand before AI projects move forward.

This free session is especially relevant for:

• Project Management Offices
• PMI chapter leaders and members
• IIBA chapter leaders and members
• Project managers and business analysts working with data, analytics, automation, or AI initiatives

Learning objectives:

- Understand why data preparation is critical to AI project success.

- Recognize the role of PMs and BAs in AI/data readiness.

- Connect CPMAI concepts to real-world project and business analysis work.

- Identify practical questions teams should ask before launching AI initiatives.
