West Michigan's labor force is shrinking, the world of work and tech is evolving, and the long-term market opportunity for leaders who act now is enormous. But are your people policies and practices ready for AI? Join Elizabeth K. Goede (Ratliff Consulting | SPARK AI Lab) and Lisa Cooper (Cooper People Group) for a fast-moving, hands-on session designed for senior leaders and HR professionals who are ready to implement AI effectively. Walk away with ethical guardrails, hiring and training strategies, and AI tools you can use the same day. Available in-person and virtually, so no one gets left out.
What You'll Walk Away With:
- The Shrinking Labor Force Reality: Data-backed insights on West Michigan's talent shortage and the long-term market opportunity for leaders who build AI-ready teams now
- AI Gone Wrong (and Right): Real horror stories of botched AI implementations, and what the guardrails should have looked like
- Ethical AI Governance: How to build policies your employees will actually follow, and why it protects your organization
- Hiring for AI Competency: How to post for, screen for, and interview candidates with AI skills, even when you're not sure what to look for
- Agentic AI in Action: See how autonomous AI systems are already reshaping how teams work, and how to put them to work for your organization
- AI Tools You Can Use Today: Live, hands-on demos of tools that immediately amplify recruiting, onboarding, and employee experience
- AI Adoption Roadmap: Why a 1 hour training won’t create sustainable improvements but our other ideas will
- Strategic Workforce Planning and job design with AI in the workforce: "Now that AI can do this task, what higher-value work should people spend more time on?"

workFLOW with Venus Flyytrap + The Focus Flow Hub & Butter Bliss
Aug 13, 2026 5:00 PM
Workflow is a sonic session series designed for the way we work — where frequency meets focus. At the intersection of global tempos, house, and vintage soul, Workflow transforms workspaces into environments of flow and focus. Rather than interrupting the day, these sonic sessions flow with it — supporting creativity, collaboration, and momentum in real time.
