The Next AI: Webinar Series
Session 3 – Preparing the Ground for AI: Culture, Clarity, and Process
Wednesday, May 6
1:00 PM- 2:30 PM (ET)
*Please note that this webinar will be offered in English and is open only to employees of Canadian universities and colleges.
Artificial intelligence is no longer emerging – it is already reshaping how knowledge is created, decisions are made, and institutions operate.
As post-secondary institutions accelerate their exploration of artificial intelligence, many are discovering that the greatest barriers are not technological, but organizational. The effectiveness of AI depends on the strength of underlying data, governance and processes, and when these are unclear or misaligned, AI can amplify inefficiencies rather than resolve them.
Building on insights from the first two sessions in this series, this webinar explores why AI initiatives often fall short, and what institutions can do to better prepare for meaningful, sustainable adoption.
Drawing on Lean and continuous improvement principles, the session will focus on understanding how work is actually done, engaging the people closest to it, and strengthening institutional culture. Participants will gain practical insights into how improving processes and ways of working can create the conditions for AI to deliver real value – enhancing, rather than complicating operations.
Lunch with EDNA
The purpose of Lunch with EDNA is to:
- provide instructors with free and local professional development of teaching across our post-secondary institutions in Alberta
- create an opportunity for instructors to share ideas across institutions
- highlight the educational leadership of EDNA members who facilitate
On the third Wednesday of every month, an EDNA member will lead a session on a topic that is relevant and practical for instructors at colleges, universities, institutes, and polytechnics to implement in their teaching and learning contexts. The format may be a presentation, discussion, workshop, case study, demonstration, or telling and unpacking a a teaching experience.
