As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the modern workplace, many organizations remain hesitant, concerned about trust, security, and uncertainty. But inaction has a cost. Join Keith Yandell, SVP of Innovation at FORTÉ, as he explores what can happen when organizations take a “wait and see” approach with intelligent tools – and what sets early adopters apart. Through real-world contrasts, Keith will reveal how delaying AI integration can leave businesses behind, hurt workforce engagement, and shrink customer bases. He’ll also share examples of how AI agents can be used to remove communication barriers, enhance productivity, and transform meeting spaces…but only if the right systems are in place.

Join the October webinar to learn to:

• Clarify and help the audience understand what might happen if organizations don't deploy AI solutions and tools effectively. 
• Compare and contrast real-world examples of businesses applying AI offerings to enhance communication and collaboration.
• Explain how AI agents will be used to remove communication barriers, enhance productivity and transform meeting spaces.
