Abstract:
In the era of AI, partnership models must evolve into repeatable, scalable systems that adapt as quickly as technology shifts. In this session, Elaine shares the human-centered, AI-informed partnership approach and scalable frameworks she has developed throughout her career to help organizations build adaptive structures that accelerate innovation and sustained value.
Action Items:
- Identify high-value partners using AI-informed capability mapping, strategic alignment validation, risk evaluation, and assessment of their fit for human-centered innovation
- Build scalable partnership structures—governance, operating cadences, and KPIs—grounded in a modern human-centered AI partnership approach
- Integrate AI-enabled experimentation loops to validate value quickly, eliminate friction, and accelerate co-innovation at scale
