Fitness and AI adoption have more in common than you think: 🏋️ Form over weight: Rushing into AI tools without a strategy leads to injury (and wasted budgets). Form comes first. 🔄 Repetition builds strength: You don't get fit in one session; small, daily cross-functional AI uses compound over time. 👥 Spotters matter: Having a cross-functional team supporting your tech journey makes all the difference. Getting "fit for AI" isn't about working harder—it's about building sustainable, cross-functional habits across your organization. Join us with Les Mills New Zealand on September 3 for No Pain, All Gain: Getting Fit for AI to hear how leaders are training their teams for the future of tech. 📍 Level 2, 200 Victoria Street West, Auckland 🗓️ Thursday, 3 Sept | 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM 👉 Few slots remaining.
