[Online] How I Actually Use AI as a Data Leader in My Day-to-Day

​Continuing our DPM webinar series aimed at upskilling & knowledge-sharing, we're joined by Erich Olson - VP of Data & Analytics at a Fortune 20 company and Founder of Final First Partners!

​Most AI content for leaders is either too abstract ("AI will transform everything") or too tactical ("here's how to write better prompts"). Erich sits in neither camp.

​As a VP of Data & Analytics at a Fortune 20 company, Erich uses AI daily to manage cross-functional data strategy, stakeholder communications, and team operations. In this session, he'll share how he actually uses AI in his own day-to-day work as a data leader - not the pitch deck version.

​What makes this session different: Erich doesn't just use AI for productivity. He uses it for self-inspection - analysing his own chat transcripts to surface behavioural patterns, then building systems that notice when he's drifting off track and nudge him back.

​What we'll unpack

• ​How to use AI as a thinking partner, not just a task executor

• ​Analysing your own chat transcripts to spot recurring behavioural patterns

• ​How to build a personal "operating system" that catches blind spots before they become problems

• ​Practical examples you can apply whether you're a team lead, a head of data, or running your own practice

• ​Live Q&A - come with your own questions about using AI in your day-to-day

​What you'll walk away with

• ​A framework for using AI for self-inspection, not just productivity

• ​Concrete techniques for surfacing your own blind spots via transcript analysis

• ​Ideas for building an AI-powered nudge system tailored to your own patterns

• ​Real examples from someone who has built and iterated on this in practice

​Perfect for: Data and AI leaders, heads of data, product managers, and anyone who uses AI tools regularly and wants to go deeper than prompting - applying them to how you work and lead, not just what you produce.

​This is a live session with Q&A. Come with questions - Erich will walk through real examples from his own setup.

​About the Data & AI Product community

​Data and AI product management is still a young discipline, and there aren't many spaces dedicated to learning from peers.

​So we started this meetup in 2023 to change that! Since then, it's grown into a vibrant community with chapters in London, Barcelona, and Paris.

​Whether or not "product" is in your job title, if you're involved in shaping data, analytics, and AI initiatives (e.g. product managers, strategists, BAs, data scientists, engineers, analysts) you'll find like-minded people here.

​This is an informal, welcoming space to swap lessons, share challenges, and enjoy drinks and snacks along the way 😊

​You can meet us in person at our in-person meetups, but also join our global community where we have expert webinars, training courses, job postings, resources, and discussions.

​Quick FAQ

• ​Will this event be recorded? Yes, we will upload the recording here, along with previous DPM Community webinars

• ​If I sign up to this event, will I be opting into any marketing emails? No. We only use the Luma mailing list to invite you to upcoming community events and share community updates. You can always opt out of the Luma calendar.

• ​Can I mention this to a friend or colleague? Yes, of course! If they're based in London, send them this event. If they're not, it might be better to send them the LinkedIn Live link directly, so they don't get invited to all our in-person meetups too.

• ​Why are you doing this? Data & AI Product Management is a nascent field, and we created this community to bring together practitioners and help share our skills and experiences with those newer to DPM.
