Apply AI within 3 months
This training demystified AI for our entire legal department. I went from skeptical to strategic—now I understand where AI adds value and where human judgment remains essential. Within two months, we piloted three AI tools that are saving us 15 hours per week on contract review. The ROI calculation and vendor evaluation frameworks were immediately practical.
