Our Actionable AI: Your Roadmap for AI Readiness in Higher Education webinar series continued this week with Part 3.

"Actionable AI for Productivity," was an eye-opener for higher education professionals on the potential of AI to streamline their daily operations.

With a focus on personalization and efficiency, the webinar showcased how AI can analyze and interpret data, develop original content, and aid with knowledge discovery.

This session served as a beacon, guiding professionals through the AI-driven revolution that’s reshaping productivity across departments and institutions around the country.

Why Does Higher Ed Need AI?

In higher ed, staff often get swamped with tasks like sorting through endless emails, wrangling data, and whipping up documents and reports. These chores eat into time and energy that could be used on what really counts — helping students and shaping the future of education.

In part 3, we're helping professionals see AI as a smart shortcut to cut through the routine and give staff more space for the big-picture stuff. We believe that from admissions to alumni relations, AI is the new frontier.

ChatGPT's success story, reaching 100 million users in mere months, underscores the explosive potential of AI.

Read on to learn why these tools aren't just enhancing interactions but also setting benchmarks for productivity and effectiveness.

Increasing Productivity Through AI

AI's evolving role, with tools like Insights Q and Bolt Copilot, is leading the way in transforming data interaction and content creation.

AI's application in higher education is not just a possibility—it's a present reality, offering actionable insights and solutions that cater to the dynamic needs of educational institutions.

AI's capacity as a virtual collaborator, automating content generation and data analysis, hence freeing up valuable time for strategic tasks, is unmatched.

Aspects like staff onboarding, Q&A, and operational management can benefit from AI's instantaneity, reshaping the academic landscape. In the session, we focused on three specific areas of productivity that can be streamlined with AI.

Content Generation

AI is breaking new ground in content creation.

Let's be honest: no one likes email. Staff can use AI to rewrite personalized, effective emails quickly, enhancing their communication with other staff or students. Repurposing existing content, crafting compelling content for specific formats such as web or marketing material, editing your writing, and digesting complex faculty research are other tasks that tools like ChatGPT can help with.

From drafting compelling marketing copy to generating complex research reports, AI like Bolt Copilot, integrated throughout the entire Element451 CRM, is the silent partner in crafting narratives that resonate with audiences across the academic spectrum.

The best part is all you have to do is query the AI like you would a co-worker by asking plain language questions in English. No coding is required.

Knowledge Discovery

Data is no longer a maze. With a number of tools available, AI can dig deep into data, revealing hidden trends and insights that can inform strategic decisions.

Insights Q, the webinar's star, showcased how querying complex CRM data becomes as simple as asking a question in plain English, turning data analytics into a conversation. Ask any data question in natural language and watch as it paints the answers into clear visualizations, empowering you to fine-tune your strategy on the fly.

Which event had the most registrations last month? What are the most popular majors among female students? Which team member completed the most tasks on time?

With Insights Q, you can answer these questions with a few keystrokes.

Actionable Insights

Actionable insights mean taking those discoveries and translating them into real-world actions that can improve operations, enhance student engagement, and drive academic success.

AI tools are designed to sift through complex data, making it easier for staff to understand and use this information effectively.AI's strategic prowess was highlighted through examples where decision-making is backed by solid data-driven insights.

Be it forecasting enrollment trends or pinpointing areas for operational improvements, AI stands as an astute advisor for higher education leaders.
