KPMG Ignition Lab Workshop: Knowing in a Time with Data and No Understanding

Join us for a hands-on workshop with Dr. Paul Hartley, CEO of Human Futures, on why human context is critical for business in the age of AI.

Date: Thursday, October 29
Time: 5:00-6:30 PM
Location: KPMG Ignition Lab (Room 8150), McLean Centre for Collaborative Discovery

What you will explore: As AI makes data more abundant, understanding what that data actually means is becoming the harder and more valuable skill. Dr. Hartley will lead a hands-on session on how human context, judgment, and perspective shape better business decisions.

Who should join: Students from all programs are welcome, especially anyone interested in business, technology, consulting, or the future of work.

Why it matters: You will leave with a sharper framework for working alongside AI, plus the chance to learn from an industry leader and connect with students who share your interests.
