Participants will learn practical approaches to strengthening decision-making, redesigning workflows, and more with AI.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to change business faster than most organizations can absorb it. The ones that succeed will not necessarily be those with the most advanced technology, but those that learn, adapt, and redesign work more quickly than their competitors.
Join the Ontario Chamber of Commerce Skills Bridge team and Toronto Metropolitan University’s Magnet online on August 20 at 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. (EST) for How Small Businesses Can Thrive in the Age of AI.
This session will explore how small and medium-sized businesses can build the adaptive capacity needed to navigate continuous technological change.
Rather than focusing solely on AI tools, participants will learn practical approaches to strengthening decision-making, redesigning workflows, empowering employees, and creating a culture of experimentation that turns emerging technologies into measurable business value.
Magnet’s Executive Director Mark Patterson will share insights into:
• Why adaptability has become a critical competitive advantage for SMEs
• How to identify high-value opportunities to redesign work with AI rather than simply automate existing processes
• Practical approaches to building an AI-enabled workforce that learns, experiments, and adapts with confidence
• Simple steps every business can take to accelerate productivity, innovation, and long-term resilience
