About the guest :
John W. Munsell is the CEO of Bizzuka, author of "INGRAIN AI: Strategy Through Execution" and the creator of the AI Strategy Canvas® and Scalable Prompt Engineering™ frameworks.

The result is a workplace where people actually want to use AI and spread their enthusiasm and expertise throughout the organization.
