SUMMARY:Technology Webinar: Human vs. Machine: The Promise and Peril of Artificial Intelligence in the Law Enforcement Context
DESCRIPTION:The development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) software for a range of applications has sparked intense debate over its implications for privacy and surveillance in multiple contexts. At the same time\, police organizations argue that AI could help revolutionize and speed up police investigations by allowing for faster identification of crime suspects or missing or kidnapped persons. \nWhat are the kinds of dangers posed by the use of AI by law enforcement agencies? Are there types of crimes where the application of AI might be beneficial? How well or poorly are legislative bodies dealing with this new technology? What is the state of the law at the federal\, state\, and local levels regarding AI use by law enforcement organizations? Our panel will tackle all these topics. \n

SUMMARY:Technology Webinar Event: Understanding AI and AI Policy in 2024 and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two years\, much of the conversation around technology has been focused on artificial intelligence (AI). While AI may have increased in popularity and already been used in a wide array of products\, we are still only just discovering many of its beneficial applications. \nAI is much more than popular products like ChatGPT and is truly saving and changing lives in fields like medicine and disaster response. But as we’ve seen in Europe\, the wrong policy approach could prevent the development or deployment of many of these beneficial products. \nAmong the questions to be addressed are: How has policy supported or hindered US innovators and consumers in developing and accessing AI? What lessons might we learn from the policy approaches to past general-purpose technologies? Where does AI and AI policy go next? \nThis policy forum will start with a fireside chat with Rep. Jay Obernolte (R‑CA)\, a leading voice on AI policy and co-chair of the House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence. \nFollowing that conversation\, a panel of policy experts will discuss the future of AI\, the potential impact of policy on this innovation\, and more.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: HBR Press Webinar  Leading Through: Activating the Soul\, Heart\, and Mind of Leadership
DESCRIPTION:We are living through a profound transition from an old\, industrial era to a new one that is digital\, transparent\, and complex. The way we lead people needs to catch up with this reality. \nIn their new book\, Leading Through\, the former Dean of Harvard Business School Kim Clark\, his business school professor son\, Jonathan\, and management consultant daughter\, Erin articulate a new\, positive model of leadership. \nOn October 28 they will join us to explain why the old bureaucratic and hierarchical approach – one that involves wielding power over people – causes such waste and loss of human potential\, stifling innovation\, ultimately resulting in “organizational darkness.” \nThey will then lay out their new approach that enables and inspires power through people. This leadership mindset is one that consciously seeks to do good and to make things better; that cares for people\, helping them to thrive; and that mobilizes people to solve tough problems. These three elements\, our experts argue\, are the soul\, heart\, and mind of leadership\, and they represent a timely evolution in the world of work.

SUMMARY:March 2022 PMI-MC Monthly Chapter Event
DESCRIPTION:PMI-Montgomery County MD Chapter March 2022 Monthly Evening Event\nWednesday\,  March 2nd 2022\n\n\nIn-Person Member Dinner Price: $10.00\nIn-Person  Non-Member Dinner Price: $40.00\nVirtual Member  / Non Member Price: $0.00\n\n\nTopic: TALENT MANAGEMENT: UNLEASHING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL\nPDU Earned: 1.0 – Strategic & Business Management\nPresentation Link: PMI-3-1-22\n\nPresenters: Ms. Adrienne Somerville (MS) & Mr. Michael Taylor (MBA)\n\nPresentation Abstract:Today\, talent management is often represented by individual leaders inconsistently\nattempting to perform workforce planning by\, for example\, identifying work requirements\, analyzing the existing workforce\, equating skills gaps to staffing gaps\, or relying on adding new resources to rectify workforce weaknesses. These efforts are ineffectual\, often lacking any consistent standards or a cohesive long-term talent management strategy.For years\, we have seen in the value\, mission\, and vision statements of many organizations the\nwords “people first.” Yet when you have a conversation with the average employee\, he or she often does not feel as if he or she is first at all. Today\, Mr. Michael Taylor and Ms. Adrienne Somerville will offer the establishment of a new standard of ensuring employees\, at all levels\, know they represent the organization’s most valuable resource: its talent! In essence\, people are the bedrock of all organizations\, upon which talent management and all other company enablers rests. \nMr. Taylor and Ms. Somerville will share the top talent management concepts\, and encourage\nparticipants like you to take the necessary action to spearhead your professional talent management initiative for your individual gain\, while promoting talent management\nthroughout your company for its organizational gain. \nLastly\, Michael and Adrienne will also convey the need to not only understand talent\nmanagement but the data and its organizational value. They will ensure PMI-MC\nparticipants both in-person & virtual understand the importance of collecting data about their workforce\, as it is the foundation regarding the knowledge\, skills and abilities of workforce members. Whether this is your first talent management event or you are a seasoned talent management professional\, you will find keys to help you design\, develop\, and deploy a rewarding and successful talent management career and/or program. \n\nPresenters Bio:\nAdrienne Somerville:\nAs NAVAIR’s first Talent Management Program Manager\, Adrienne designed\, developed and deployed the integrated approach to workforce skills planning and management: increasing flexibility and agility to Department of Defense\, Navy and NAVAIR requirements; nationally synchronizing a variety of functional and organizational skill efforts; and providing the total workforce a clear\, consistent skill-based career roadmap and developmental framework that identified skill gaps and better utilized desired skills to target training resources and meet program requirements.\n\nAdditionally\, Adrienne has over 13+ years expertise in Talent Management and Leadership Development that stems from her Navy career and continues now simultaneously with her own consulting groups\, Talent & Technical Solutions Corporation (TTSC) and Somerville Consulting Group LLC (SCG)\, where Adrienne serves as the CEO of both companies.\n\nMs. Adrienne Somerville is an Amazon International Best Selling Author of Wingspan\, her debuting talent management book\, 2021 Project Opportunity Pitch Competition winner\, Career Communications Women of Color 2020 President’s Award winner and Career Communications Women of Color 2011 Managerial Award winner.\n\nLocation:\n\nNormandie Farm Restaurant\,  Falls Rd\, Potomac MD \nSimulcast delivered via Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS \nSocial Hour/Registration Opens @ 5:45pm \nDinner Service Begins No Earlier Than @ 6:30pm \nZoom Room Opens @ 7:15pm \nChapter Business Remarks No Earlier Than @ 7:30pm \nPresentation w/ Q&A to follow – 7:40pm \n\nProgram concludes No Later Than @ 9:00pm\n\nNOTICE: The webinar will be recorded and available for viewing and PDU Self-Reporting.
