Week 4 - MBA 6601 - Closer Look at Adapt

 In Surfing the Tsunami he refers to three things we can do with artificial intelligence, adapt, adopt, or adept. In taking a closer look at AI, knowing how to begin is important because it can all seem very overwhelming when you know nothing and are just getting started. The first step is to adapt to AI. to adapt is to learn more about it or pay attention to what is happening or involves AI. This is more or so a 'wait and see' attitude or action to see where AI is headed and the beginning of taking steps to being involved in AI. 

Being a self-starter and ready to just start dong something new is definitely a positive attribute to have when tackling the world of AI, but it is not essential. It is okay to take time to learn about things and develop other necessary skills along the way that will assist with AI. Learning to code for instance, even though not essential, can be helpful in increasing understanding of AI. Coding can also help you to go from novice to expert in AI, eventually. Being able to reflect on the intricacies of what goes into AI and understanding the many moving parts is definitely beneficial. 

When dealing with AI you should also take time to reflect on what you are learning. Look at what you are doing and accomplishing. Stay focused on how things are changing in the world of AI. Share your journey with others, to go from a learner to a teacher as that can be beneficial for understanding. Sharing your journey is also a good source of reflection as it can be helpful in seeing what you have done and what you need to develop further. 

Know that AI will not be mastered in a day. Utilize scheduled and repeated practice to become a master of AI. Setting a daily appointment to spend x amount of time on AI and committing to it will keep you accountable and help build on your AI knowledge and skillset. Use AI to notify you of your need to study AI. Know how you are utilizing and managing your time. Most people who say they do not have enough time, usually do, they are just bad a t time management. Adjust your schedule to make it fit in and then stick to it.

Week 7 - MBA 6601 - Strategy

When you are aligning your strategy with process and measurement, accountability and alignment become two of your best traits. A properly aligned strategy can be effectively executed. Without the alignment there is no way to execute a plan time after time to produce results. Accountability is simply making sure that people deliver on what they said they would do. This is where it becomes important that everyone knows what their job is and what they are responsible for so they can complete their designated tasks and no part is left behind. All tasks are important and must be completed as a whole to execute the strategy. Designing your strategy comes from focusing on what you are best at. So take a step back and think about what your company does really, really well.

Week 8 - MBA 6601 - Ad Campaign Reflection

Image
 Overall, I feel like my ad campaign was successful in teaching me a lot of things. I had no interaction with Google Ads prior to this course. Now I feel like I could run an Ad Campaign with little difficulty. Tailoring it to turn profits may take some more time, but I feel like overall I was pretty successful. I'm not sure how many impressions and clicks people usually get in 10 days, but I was happy with the amount I received. Above is the final count. I ended up spending $45.05 in total. Over 61,000 impressions and that got me a total of 152 clicks on my ads. I initially had a $7 a day limit set because of the slow start with clicks in the first 24 hours but when it began to pick up that is when I backed off to the $5 a day that my professor suggested. It is pretty impressive how fast the price ads up when the clicks start rolling in.  I did find the app helpful in keeping an eye on things. It is very user friendly. You can easily change any of the keyword themes or quickly...
